There are a handful of reasons why I maintain this blog. One of them is for recording Elijah's medical issues, and the ease of looking back to see what has happened and when, if need be. So, it is for this reason only that I am writing to say that he has caught his fifteenth viral infection of the "winter." Lots of snot, even more coughing, more red eyes (even though we are still giving him eye drops from the last time..??) and a super fussy and tired and whiny boy.
I feel totally beaten down. Like I (well, Elijah, really) am lying on the ground just being flogged repeatedly. His recent speech worries, upcoming surgery and sickness after neverending sickness has me just weary.

Hugs to you all. Don't worry Megan, Elijah is such a strong little man, he'll be fine soon. Relax and enjoy the rest of the weekend!!!
Sending our love and blessing your way!!!
Sorry you're having to deal with so much! I'll be sending some prayers your way. Hugs to Elijah!
Is it time to see an Immunologist yet???? This is madness! Poor baby...poor momma. :0(
Hang in there! The last few posts have made me so thankful that Elijah has such attentive parents. You were meant to be his mama! Sending prayers for strength and patience your way!
Hugs,
the Yoders
Megan - 15 is a LOT. I am so sorry and can totally understand you feeling discouraged and tired. I will pray that God will bolster your spirits, give you joy and perseverance during these trials. One thing I've been learning is that God wants us to share ALL of our emotions ... not just our thankfulness, but our weariness too. What a good God! You are such a good mom and Elijah is so lucky to have you to take care of him. An extra heart hug for all of you from the Smith's!
That poor little boy he is sick alot. I am so sorry you are having to go through all of this, I just hate challenges. I really hope he gets to feeling better and I hope you spirits rise a little bit.
Lots of hugs coming your way.
Oh, no:0( Poor Elijah & poor Momma & Daddy:0( You guys all deserve a break!
Praying that this passes quickly & you're all better soon!
Booooo! I'm so sorry. You have a lot going on right now, you must be so mentally exhausted. I wish I could offer more than just well wishes. I hope Elijah recovers quickly and you guys can get some rest.
Keep your head up. Look how far you've come.... luv, Kendis
I'm so sorry, Megan. I know you saw a dr. about his proneness to developing croup, but I hope you will find more answers as to why you little boy gets sick so much. Maybe a visit to an immunologist will help? I'll be praying for you, Dan, and Elijah.
Hi! I have no idea how I happened to find your blog. My daughter has heart problems and as I am searching for some answers, I have read tons of blogs! Anyway, she is about to turn 4. From the time she was 18 months to 2 yrs old, she went to the pediatrician 17 times and the ER 3 times for different illnesses (febrile seizures, croup, respiratory distress, ear infections, cold...you name it!) Her ped sent us to all kinds of specialists, immunologists, etc and the best they could come up with was she would outgrow it. I was frustrated, sad and TIRED and that answer was not satisfying....but guess what? He was right!! She is almost NEVER sick now (knock on wood)! I know every situation is different, but just wanted to give you some hope for the future! You guys seem like great parents through your blog and Elijah is blessed to have you (and vice versa!)
