Does it get better?!

So, we took Tommy to the pediatrician today because he has been running a low fever, 99-101 (today was the highest at 101.2). Since he's been home from the hospital he has had a nasty cough, which originally I thought was from the tube being down his throat during surgery. And he had 3 poopy diapers today and the last one was colored the same as his bloody one from Sunday night. After I saw that is when I called the pediatrician and in we went with his diaper! Turns out that it isn't blood, but they sent it to the lab just to be positive. As a side note, she gave us a standing order at Quest Diagnostics to take any questionable diaper in!! He ended up with a respiratory infection and is now needing to do breathing treatments!! SERIOUSLY!!! This is crazy!! I figure by the time Tommy is 2 he will have had everything and will not even have as much as a cold for the rest of his life!!
