Noah had developed a cold a few days ago..and by yesterday was wheezing, having shortness of breath, and having just a very difficult time breathing. I brought him in to Emergency(I had brought him to a walk in the night before.. and was given a good to go)we were triaged..and Noah was bought in directly to emergency..was treated by the respiratory therapist..had blood taken(again.second time this week)and had and x-ray and other body fluids taken. The poor kiddo has pneumonia..he was sent home with antibiotics and a puffer...it was a long four hours in the ER...Anneke was amazing..and Noah was good too..poor guy. I am sure he is getting sick of the poking and prodding.
Today, Dr. Baxter called. Noah's thyroid is not working properly. She spoke to endocrinology and Noah will begin taking medication tomorrow. He will be tested monthly to make sure his meds are at the right level, and at three years old taken off for awhile and tested to see if his pituitary gland is sending the right signals to his thyroid without the help of meds.
Besides that, Noah is doing really well. He is a busy bundle of a kid. He checks constantly through the night to see if mom is beside him...so, sleep seems to be a thing of the past. I was told as kids bond..they sometimes sleep worse. If it means he is bonding, I am all for sleep deprivation...however, last night..the three hours did not cut it..
So..with all medical issues at this point being taken care of...hopefully we can stay healthy and away from doctors and labs for awhile :)

Hope everyone is doing OK. Noah is just a little trooper. Hope you get some rest soon.
Oh Jess, I am sorry to hear about Noah having Phenomia! How are you hanging in there. WE are still sleep deprived here....and it's very challenging indeed (-:
Oh, the poor little guy! It always seems like the first few months are nothing but doctors and needles, etc. But once you get everything figured out, it will go better and life will get easier.
Praying you get some sleep!
I'm sorry to hear Noah is ill. Poor guy sure doesn't need that or the thyroid issues. It's a good thing they tested though and caught it early.
I hope everyone gets their much needed sleep. {hugs}
