Seriously, the sickness is getting old.

Brad is sick AGAIN.  Because this blog starts where the other left off I'll explain briefly what happened this summer.  He got sick a week before Miles' birthday with what they thought was pneumonia/bronchitis despite the fact that his chest x-rays were clear.  So anyway...started antibiotics and was slowly (very slowly) feeling better.  Then he ended up in the emergency room with severe chest pain, dizziness, a fever, and he had no idea where he was.  That was a great morning.  Again, they said pneumonia.  Pumped him full of a strong antibiotic and sent him home with some more.  That seemed to help.  Went on vacation he was fine.  Came back, sick again. 

Long story short, no one knows what the hell is wrong with him.  So we saw a pulmonologist who said he thinks it's just a "chronic cough" and that it will go away by December.  We have another appointment with that guy in December just in case it doesn't go away.  So we'll see.

So fast forward to today.

He wakes up and his eye won't open.  Because he has PINK EYE.  Are we serious?  Poor guy can't catch a break.  So he's home today with his pink eye and his germs washing our sheets so Mama and Milesie don't get the pink eye too.  Of course last night (when Brad was developing the pink eye) was the night when Miles came to bed with us at 4am.  So if we're going to get it, it's growing in our eyes now.  Let's all pray that's not the case.  And if you could throw out a few "Keep Brad Healthy" prayers as well that'd be swell.  :-)
