worry or not to worry?

Little Jerry is still sick with his cold. He has lost at least 6 oz. The one day he only had 10 oz of formula and no food. He has picked up the formula a bit but is only eating a few fruit loops or crackers now. He threw up in his sleep the night that he only had 10 oz. I was starting to worry...the flu? Of course I still worry about returning heart failure even though it is not that likely. Last week he had a strange breathing episode that really scared me. It was the night he started to get his cold. He was congested and then seemed to not take a breath for several seconds and was kind of unresponsive for that time. Then he kind of gasped and cried. The doctor thinks it is probably just from the cold but could be a seizure type thing. We may have to have an EEG done for that.

Now he is up and down...feeling better then acting sick again. He has no fever so that is always a good sign. It is so hard to know if I should take him anywhere to get checked over again. It seems like he might have sinus infection but could still be just a cold with fatigue from being out of his normal routine and from playing with cousins.

JJ loved his first airplane trip! I was worried about his cold hurting his ears but he had no problem at all. Isaac was invited by the pilot to go in the cockpit and try the controls and check it out. It was very cool. Pictures to come when John brings the flash drive.
