Thanks everyone for your prayers and concerns. We are finally looking a little better I think (hope!). Things took a turn for the worse Sunday night and yesterday and we had him back to the Dr's. His breathing was really bad and his cough was dreadful. So they checked him out again and same diagnosis but he just has it pretty bad. They said sometimes they call it the "Happy Wheeze" cause some kids aren't bothered at all. Obviously that wasn't the case with our poor little guy. They sent us home with a nebulizer which really seems to help. He hardly fights it anymore because he knows it makes him feel better. If that didn't help the next step would be to admit him and put breathing tubes in but luckily I think this is working. We all finally got some good, cough free, sleep last night on and off and he seems a little bit in better spirits today and is eating a little more. The other good thing is that is fever broke yesterday too. We still give him Tylenol sometimes because he's in pain from the coughing but we're happy he's nice and cool at least. We go back tomorrow for a follow up appointment, they want to keep close tabs on him.
I know it probably never gets easier when your kids are sick but man is this emotionally draining on us... its not easy to see your 4 month old son so miserable:(
But thanks again for the prayers and concerns, its working:)
