This was timed well becase I was planning to post and ask pretty much the same thing.

Hunter has been home 5 months and has been off antibiotics at the most 2 weeks at a shot. The doctors are still trying to figure out what to do. It starts with the green runny nose and then goes to the fever, cough, and chest congestion. I still think that living in the allergy capital of the U. S. has something to do with it. I'm pretty sure that St. Pete had nowhere near the pollen that we do.

Like David, Hunter has gained weight well and his height has come up some. I suppose in another two years I'll know if he's just going to be short. Hunter is in day care 5 days a week and that can't change as I am the main breadwinner in the house.

The doctor is already talking about a referral to the children's hospital and the ENT specialist. I went through a similar situation with my youngest bio dd and ear infections so I may have a little different outlook on this. She had the tonsils, tubes, adenoids thing at 5 and has been sick less in the last 4 years than she was the last 6 months before surgery.

Can you get a recommendation to an ENT specialist? Will they allergy test him? With where you live, outdoor mold could be a BIG factor if he's allergic (both my youngest dd and I have a severe allergy to it). I hope David gets to feeling better soon. Keep us posted.
