So, the sick kid saga continues in our house. Drew started with coughing and congestion on Sunday and by Monday was running a fever. We had him at the doctor Tuesday and we decided to wait it out to see if he could fight it himself and not start an antibiotic yet. He is doing better (no fever) but still sounds horrible. The joys of his non-asthma asthma! He has until Tuesday to get through it on his own.
My little Allen started with a fever Tuesday evening and yesterday it just kept going up. By this morning it was at 101 so into the doctor we went. He has his first ear infection (oh boy) and RSV. Our doctor said she has not seen a case of RSV since early January. Leave it to one of my kids to get something crazy! He's on meds for the ear and we're watching his breathing to make sure he's getting enough air on the RSV front. If he has labored breathing then we have to call the doctor or head to the ER if it gets really bad. So...I'm sleeping on his floor tonight just to be safe.
It's so frustrating to start this so early in his life! I'm destined for breathing treatments forever!!

Hey Amanda-
So sorry to hear about your boys being sick! We have lived in the world of breathing treatments ever since Isaac was one so I feel your pain! They still won't diagnose him as an asthmatic but we have been on Flovent inhaler for several months now (I think this is an asthma med) and it has made all the difference in the world with all the many colds and viruses he gets! We haven't had to use the nebulizer except once or twice this entire winter which is amazing! Have they tried that with Drew? I will be praying for you all!
