THE KIDS CHECK-UPS

We finally made our check-ups for the kids. So, here are the facts. Tyler is 38 inches tall(50th percentile) and weighs 35 pounds(50th percentile). I was kind of suprised that he hasn't gotten much taller in the last few months but Dr. Melton still says I am going to have some TALL kids. Kaleigh weighed 14 lbs 12 oz.(50th) and is 25 inches long(75th percentile). He was really impressed with how long she is already. Another tall kid !! So to the not so good part, Tyler is still petrified of Dr. Melton. Ever since his bout with RSV he flips out when we even mention going to the doctor. Yesterday morning Tyler was a little flush and had a very minor cough but by 10:00 when we picked him up from school it had really progressed into a nasty cough. He has a respiratory virus and he was running a medium grade fever. Long story short, he got some crazy chills and his fever went sky high to 104.5 so we got him in the tub and we have managed to maintain a 102.5 fever. Isn't that sad, we're happy with 102.5. That's how bad it was yesterday and last night. His cough is so bad that he can't finish a word without choking and we are having a really hard time getting him to take his medicine. He isn't fighting us but when he takes it he starts choking and he gags it back up. We're in a bit of a bind with that. Keep my man in your prayers over the weekend please. The doctor informed us that Kaleigh should be no where around us or Tyler so she spent the night with Sonia and Jimmy. So, I missing her terribly as well.
