Well...Braylen started coughing severely in the night. We all did sleep fairly well last night. Alea woke every 2 hours, but tooks some pedialite or juice, medicine or breathing treatment and right back to sleep. I called the doctor this morning and told them we needed an appointment for tomorrow for recheck of Alea after ER visit, but that I thought we should come in today since Braylen was getting worse. So we had an 11:00 appointment. Alea is doing well. The doctor put Braylen on breathing treatments 3 times a day with Albuterol and one time a day with Pulmicort.
I have had to make a chart so I know when I am giving which child what since combined we have 5 different meds plus tylenol and Motrin as needed.
I'll post pictures of Alea taking her breathing treatment later. She is finally taking her nap at 5 p.m. She is the hardest child to get onto a schedule and to actually sleep. Braylen was so easy and still is, but not Miss Alea. She has a mind of her own.
Tonight Alea will be getting her own room. We are moving her crib to the office and the office to our bedroom so both girls can sleep better in their own rooms since they have totally different sleep patterns and schedules.

Breathing treatments work wonders with colds in asthmatic chilrens. Glad to hear you all are getting rested. Tell Braylen to get better so that the girls can play.
you sound like me...charting everything...and we are considering moving Jakobi into a room of his own...well, I would like to anyways...he is hard to get settled down for bedtime...whereas Maylee just lays down and falls right to sleep.
Fun times in parenthood!!! You are not alone.
Hope the girls get to feeling better.
