I know it's been a while, but we haven't really had much going on. The new year didn't start out too great since Carson and I were both sick. Poor Jake had to stay up by himself since I went to bed at 9:00. I started feeling better but Carson was having a hard time getting over a cold, so I finally took him to the doctor. I found out he had a sinus infection, which was okay. The doctor prescribed amoxicillin, which gave him a rash so we thought he was allergic to it. It turns out that he wasn't and he is finally starting to feel better. We also found out that he has asthma which was a little scary but the doctor said he should only get it when he is sick and that he will probably grow out of it. I guess I watched Malcolm in the Middle too much, because I imagined Carson turning into Stevie.
The doctor assured me he won't be sitting around sucking on an inhaler all the time. I had to go buy a nebulizer at a really great store that sells portable toilets, diabetic stockings, and shampoo that doesn't require any water. The guy was showing me how to use it when he pulled out this
and said "Just put this on him and let him breath the medicine. It takes about 10 minutes." I'm not sure if Carson is an abnormal 6 month old, but I was pretty sure he wasn't going to like that. The fact that the mask looks like a fish doesn't really matter, especially when the mask is half the size of your whole head. So we went home and tried it and it was unsuccessful to say the least. Luckily, the doctor had given me a tube to just hold in front of his face, and that seems to work much better. He is finally starting to get back to his normal happy self, which hopefully means I can get some sleep and get back to my normal happy self.
