Ok, so I got a little wound up in all the festivities and Gavin being sick. He came down with RSV and bronchiolitis in early December and quite honestly I'm not sure where the month went.
I had planned to travel with Tommy down to PRI and his 2nd award ceremony in early December but with Gavin still not doing any better (i.e. still wheezing and coughing), I just couldn't leave. And on top of that, I was leaving the kids with my parents, which meant they would to have had to take over the breathing treatments that he needed every 4 hours. It was just too much. So I stayed and Tommy came home early to help nurse our little guy back to health. He's doing much better now. He has to take a steroid breathing treatment every day until his next check-up on January 9. I'm crossing my fingers for a clean bill of health and hopefully a little boy clear of possibly having asthma from this permanently. The doctor says that he could (we had to get our own nebulizer because of it).
In this particular picture he has a dinosaur or rhinosaurus mask on. I guess somehow that's supposed to make it more friendly as I wrestle him to put the mask on. Sure. It could look like a bottle for all he cares, it still isn't covering his face. He also has a fish face mask. Either way he looks like a little fire-breathing dragon with the white puffs of smoke coming out of the air holes. He's been a real trooper with the whole thing. He's still known on occasion to sneakly pull the mask down when Mommy or Daddy isn't looking though.
More pictures to come of holidays, family photos and my trip to Colorado with Jess and Stef.
