Bronchiolitis

So, after our third trip to the doctor in 7 days, we have a new diagnosis of bronchiolitis. Poor little fella. He's wheezing because his bronchioles are full of mucous, and they aren't very big to start with. He's doing ok though. He slept really well last night and is eating some, though not a whole lot. He coughs really bad in the morning but then it seems to improve after he's a little more upright for a while.



















It's horrible to watch him and not be able to help...or to be able to help but have him scream while you are trying. He hates having his nose suctioned and he hates the breathing treatments they have prescribed. But we'll manage...and hopefully in a few days things will be improving.

In good news, the ear infection diagnosed on Monday seemed to be gone when we were at the doctor yesterday, so we're making progress!

I'm home with him today just to make sure he gets all the love he needs. We're sad we have to postpone our trip to meet his Great-Grandparents Lion yet again but we certainly don't want anyone else to get this nasty stuff!

















Hope you all have a great Friday and weekend too!
