Pneumonia for the princess

Lots of respiratory crap in our house right now. Funny thing is, none of its viral, and Jax is the only one not affected, except that he still has thick, nasty junk!
I let the boys take turns sleeping in my bed when Ray is gone. When Tanner was sleeping with me, I noticed that he wheezes all night long. I took him to my ped, and his asthma and allergies are out of control! She put him on back to back doses of antibiotics for his sinuses, and steroids. Carter is a week off steroids, and wheezing like crazy as well. Ped says the cats have to go! She told me about a study where 50 % of people who have never had asthma, developed it after living with cats. With our family asthma history, the cats are just adding to the problems. So far Tanner doesn't seem too concerned about his kitties leaving, but we'll see when they actually go!

The princess has had fevers the last couple days. Nothing extremely high, and she acts fine. I actually wouldn't have even taken her in if my ped hadn't called me to tell me she was going to be out next week (I know, how am I going to leave this lady??) She wanted her checked for a UTI, something I'm not used to with boys. The only time Jax had UTI's was in the dirty hospital. She checked her from head to toe. Ears were fine, throat was fine. I mentioned that maybe she aspirated, because she did fail her swallow study miserably. And after a chest x-ray, a big, beautiful pneumonia in her lungs! Even though she is not having respiratory problems with this, we can't let her aspirate. It reminded me of a couple other times she had fevers that went away on their own. These were probably pneumonia's as well. And even in the orphanage she was in the sick room for a while with fevers. We are doing another swallow study next Wednesday, but I fear we are heading towards a g-tube. I'm not sure what we'll do, she eats so well, I hate to take that away from her, but she even aspirated on honey thick liquids last time. That doesn't leave us with a lot she can take by mouth.
Suck!!
This girl loves to eat!!


Uhh, maybe this isn't the greatest thing to eat!
