Back to the doctor today

As I carried the boys into the pediatricians office, I joked with the nurse that I was just going to move into the room. Riley is coughing up a storm and he's making himself vomit. Addison started with a fever this morning and is starting up with a cough. Turns out Riley has an ear infection (his ears were fine at the doctor on Tuesday) and she tested Addison for whooping cough. The cultures take 3-4 days to come back and she said the culture is most likely to come back positive if you test in the first few days so she didn't bother to test Riley. She called them both in a prescription for azythromyacin (or something like that, I can't even read the label because of all of the warning stickers) and said that it's better to start treating them now. It will also work for Riley's ear infection so we don't have to add yet another medication. I was told to stop giving them Xopenex for now since it doesn't seem to be helping but they're both to get Pulmicort twice a day to help keep their lungs open.
The good thing is that Riley's chest didn't sound tight, he wasn't breathing heavy, and he's not wheezing. Addison had just a small wheeze but she thinks the Pulmicort will help that. So, while it's horrible that they're sick, it doesn't look like we'll be in the hospital again soon. When they fall asleep, they don't really cough so right now, they're both resting comfortably.
Please keep your fingers crossed that this all ends soon. It's been 3 weeks of this and I think I've reached my limit.
