We Found The Bug

We figured out the bugs name that has been bothering Shane and its name is bronchitis. Last night when I got home from work Shane was waking up from a nap and he had  a temp of 101.8 and he was breathing like he had just ran a marathon. So I decided to get to an ER and find out what was going on instead of a long night of "I shoud have....". And the doc says he has bronchitis. Easy enough fix, just take this medicine for 5 days and you will be fine. We picked up the medicine on the way home and when we got home Shane took it - easy peasy, right? Except the medicine (which is liquid with cherry flavor) is SO nasty that Shane can't keep it down. My little soldier tried so hard to make that medicine stay in his tummy but it just wasn't going to happen. So after one projectile vomit (on me and some blankets) and two regular vomits we finally gave up. And of course I called his regular doc the first thing this morning around 9:30am to see if there was another way to administer this medicine in a different form and it is now 3:47pm and I still have not heard back from him. Way to be on top of it Doc!
Honestly, Shane is the one who is sick but the mini crisis last night took more of a toll on Kassidy then it did on Shane. Remember the wonderful aspect of autism that lets its host remember everything? Well, that is a double edge sword. You see in April 2010 I went to the ER one night too and didn't come home because I had to have my appendics removed. And then a few days later I was taken away in an ambulance from my house because I thought I was having a heart attack and then a few days after that when I kept getting these "heart attack" episodes I was put in the hospital for 6 days with a "blood clot in my lungs" that turned out a few days later still to not be a blood clot at all but a mis-read catscan of a shadow from the dye they used to do a test. (Finally we got it figured it that I was having reactions to the pain medicine that was causing respiratory depression.) While all this was going on, Kassidy was at home FREAKING out because mommy had never been away before, especially at night. And here we are 9 months later and Kassidy is still super anxious about me being away from her. She even requires me to call her when I am almost home every night so she will know I am ok. So last night, even though we were really only gone for 2 hours, Kassidy flashed back to April and May 2010 and the freakout is on!  So much for sleeping through the night now.
