RSV

Well, Little Man has RSV, which caused bronchiolitis! He has had a stuffy/runny nose for about a month, but as of last Friday he started coughing.  Most of the babies at his daycare had a cold, so when his cough wasn't better by Thursday (11/15/12), we decided we should take him to see Dr. Cosgrove.  It is a good thing we did, because Asante was struggling to breath and his oxygen levels were low! He had two breathing treatments right away.  Thank the Lord, he responded well, and we were able to go home.  In some cases babies have to be admited to the hospital and even put in the NICU.  Dr. Cosgrove gave us a perscription to continue the breathing treatments at home and a steriod. We have to do the breathing treatments every 4 hours for the first 3 day, then every 6 hours for 2 days, then every 8 hours for 2 day and finally every 12 hours for 2 days. We are on day 5. Today is our follow up appointment, so hopefully everything is going well!  

He was a champ at the doctor's and didn't mind his breathing treatments at all... he even fell asleep!

His little turtle breathing mask is so stinkin' cute!
