Well, as usual I am behind. After Christmas we got home, got settled and Alex promptly got a really nasty cold. With a cough that hung on for over 2 weeks and was keeping him up at night. Then Maya got the cold too despite our best attempts at hand washing, Alex just loves his baby sister too much :) We had one really, really bad weekend with Alex a wreck up coughing all night and the mucous made Maya extremely gassy. Like I have never heard burps like this come out of a body that size. And it aggrevated her reflux and she was projectile vomitting and then coughing and gasping...not good.
At the same time we had some other things going on with Alex that have been ongoing and we finally had to break down and schedule him an x-ray test for that next monday. So sunday in the midst of all the other sickness we had to start a clear liquid diet prep for his test and then some other prep that night to clean out his system.
By that sunday night it was just overwhelming, Alex was a mess and Maya had gotten worse so I had to take her to urgent care for the cough. Her lungs were clear and they had no advice as to what to do for the gas.
The next morning (the 7th) Alex had his test and did amazing. There is a good possibility that he has a rectal polyp. We have an appt with a pediatric gastroenterologist on Feb 21st to find out what exactely that means and what the next step is.
Maya was really sick that weekend but then bounced back really fast that next week.
We are so glad to have that all done and over with!
