The sickies

Quinn's been sick for most of December. It started as a cold, then got better, then got suddenly worse. We started on one antibiotic, but it gave him diarrhea and didn't appear to work. We switched antibiotics and it appears to be working and causing less other problems, other than the fact that Quinn hates it. We should sell tickets to the charade we go through to get it into him. Poor guy.

We've had our first trip to CHEO for a chest xray but it's apparently not pneumonia, as the longstanding, persistent, productive, hacking cough and rattly breathing might indicate. He's had a few miserable days and nights over the last while, but he definitely seems to be on the mend now. I've been some degree of sick for a month and Bec's caught it presently, but I think we're all improving now.

Sleep habits definitely went out the window during his sickness, just in time for going farther out the window for Christmas. Oh well, hopefully retraining won't take too long - that progress was hard-won.
