Ongoing cold

Ronan's "cold" has been ongoing since The beginning of December. When he first started getting sick I decided to let it run it's course but after a little over a week he was worse so I took him into the doctor. They gave him antibiotics that he was supposed to be on for ten days. He finished those up on the 22nd but still was not any better. Then we had the ER trip early Sunday morning where they assumed it was just a cold that has been going on for three weeks now.

Last night he had a rough night so I decided we'd see his regular doctor who ended up being booked. They referred us over to another clinic with a doctor we'd never seen before. Turns out Ronan has a sinus infection and a bad bout of bronchitis. The doctor said he could definitely hear it in his lungs. The doctor said he was putting Ronan on the strongest dose of antibiotics he could. If Ronan is not better in a couple of days he needs to come back in and get x-rays and blood work.
Inara is growing up so quickly. She can sit for long periods of time. Also I think we may have a crawler soon. What do you think?I'm not sure what we will do with a completely mobile Inara. She will be very happy though because she gets very frustrated being stuck in one location. She scoots forward and can pivot around but isn't very fast so she gets mad pretty quick. She's a little dramatic. Now that she can sit up she can spend more one on one time with big brother Ronan. She loves talking with him and grabbing his arms.Tomorrow Ronan starts his new therapy and I'm pretty excited about it. This therapy will be unlike any other type he's received. This type of therapy will teach him life skills and how to be as independent as possible. Eventually they will even help him to learn to tie his shoes. Which reminds me I really need to work with Landon on that one. I've been slacking on the shoe tying area of Landon's life.
