Sick little guy.....

Well, Monday Alex started with some nasal congestion. I attributed it to a cold. Come Wednesday, he had a cough in the morning when I woke him up. I took him to Nana Dianne's told her I thought he had a pretty bad cold and she said she would keep me updated during the day through text messages as we usually do. She sent me a text early during my shift saying she had to give him a good whack on his back while he was over her knees because he was gagging and choking on mucous and it would probably be a good idea to get him checked out before the weekend came. So....off to the Dr. office we went. We saw Dr. Chang and she diagnosed little man with Bronchiolitis, which is in the family of RSV; a respiratory virus. It's very common this time of the year with babies. Alex had an Albuterol nebulizer breathing treatment while we were there. She came back in and listened to his lungs and noticed a big difference. We were sent home with the equipment to continue to do the breathing treatments every 4 hours as needed. Today, I am off so I am home with him. His cough is just heartwrenching. Every time he coughs I cringe. It's so sad. He's still smiling and happy, just sleeping more than usual. Hopefully this bug will make it's way outta his little body and I will have my healthy baby boy back!
