Westin has been one sickly little guy. We thought he had bronchitis last week and seemed to have gotten better as the week progressed. However, he seemed to have taken a turn for the worst over the weekend. I decided to get him on into the doctor this week and see what's going on. Sure enough, he had taken a turn for the worst. The doctor said he has bronchiolitis which was causing him to wheeze and cough. We were sent home with a nebulizer and a prescription of albuterol.
He has done so well with the nebulizer. I really thought it would upset him but he just lays back and takes it in. He actually has fallen asleep a few times during his breathing treatments. Sadly, the albuterol and the steroid he has to take along with it wire him to the point that he isn't sleeping well. He had a check up Dr. G today and thankfully were given the news that he is improving! He still has a way to go but the breathing treatments and steroid are helping! Hopefully when we go back next week, we will have an ALL CLEAR!! On a brighter note, he weighs 14lb 10oz!!! He isn't even 3 months old yet. He cracks me up because he is built like a brick. He looks just like a little football player! RTR!

I remember those days.. Cade's first one had a dinosaur mask. He didn't have his first treatment until he was almost 2. They say if they scream & cry it's actually good because they breathe in deeper.. Hopefully you won't have to do it much longer.
