Poor poor Preston.
He's so worn out today as a result of coughing through the night.
We went BACK to the doctor today. He said he still feels that Preston's cough is an infection of sorts and that the antibiotics he prescribed a few weeks ago didn't have time to help him out too much due to him getting the flu. SO he gave us more antibiotics, some childrens Dimetapp and we're to continue giving him the Singulair at night.
3 medications for 1 little boy who's just tired of having a cough.
We talked about the idea that it could be an allergy to something, but he said an allergist wouldn't do a skin test at such a young age. So in the meantime we need to treat the symptoms and figure out by process of elimination whats going on with my sweet baby.

He was falling asleep anywhere he could today. His stroller, my arms, his car seat. So so sleepy.

Oh, that's so sad!! That's got to be tough having a cough that won't go away and keeps him and you up all night:(
Yesterday at the grocery store Ethan fell asleep inside one of those little cars attached to the carts:)

Aww....he needs to feel better!!! I know that they can do a prick skin test when they're at LEAST 12 months and older...younger and it's not as accurate. And I now there's a test that they do under the skin but it's not taken as well by youngin's...they should be able to do one soon! I hope that they can get rid of whatever it is!
