First Sick Visit

so friday was Serif's first sick visit to the doctor. he's been battling a cold since the beginning of february, but around wednesday of this past week he began a deep congested cough. we got worried enough come friday that i called the doctor to find out what i needed to do. the nurse said that since he hasn't been seen yet with this cold then we should bring him on in. so that's what we did. turns out he has bronciolitis. it's not bronchitis, but it is contagious. the doc said that if he doesn't kick it within the next 2 or 3 days to bring him back in. so . . . keep the prayers going that he's able to knock this thing and not have to go back. i got the cold right after him, then Jeff got this cough thing about a week ago, then Serif and now i'm starting that too. good grief. it's just as the doctor said, 'welcome to february with a child'. enough said about that.

one more little tid bit of information. he weighed in at 17 lbs 10 oz! he has officially more than doubled his birth weight . . . and he's not even 4 months yet. hmmm... from what we've read that should be typical at 6 months. he has his 4 month appointment scheduled next week. we'll see how that goes. They did say he's doing great and is normal and healthy (other than this viral thing that everyone seems to have right now.)
