Sick Little Guy
So Landon has been sick now for the past 3 weeks and none of the OTC meds were helping so I took him to the dr. yesterday and found out he has asthmatic bronchitis, which seems kinda weird since he's never been diagnosed with asthma, but whatever. He sent us home with 3 different prescriptions...a decongestant, an antibiotic, and a steroid. He told me to go ahead and give him a dose of everything as soon as I could so we left the dr's office about 1230, got the meds filled and were on our way home. Poor little guy fell asleep and didn't wake up till 3:30. So I go ahead and give him his medicine and after he takes it I realize that the steroid instructions say " Take 1 teaspoon by mouth every MORNING for 4 days". By this time it's 4:00 in the afternoon. This child was WIRED and bouncing off the walls literally for the rest of the night. It was 11:00 before he went to sleep. Note to self: there's a reason why you should ALWAYS read the instructions before administering drugs to your children no matter what your dr. tells you.
