Poor baby. RSV how I hate thee...
Craig came home with a pretty nasty cold a couple weeks ago. He was really careful but of course Jace picked it up because he picks up anything & everything. Jace coughed all over the house and no matter how many times I reminded him to cover his mouth he kept forgetting. We thought we had managed to make it through without everyone else getting sick but the day before Nani & Grandpa left for home Ty started coughing and wheezing too. He got really ornery and just didn't feel good. We set up the cool mist humidifier in his room and had to do the saline and suction his nose. I HATE doing that. We call the suction bulb "the snuffer". Ty hated it and it got to the point that whenever I would set him down on the changing table he would just scream and cry because he knew what was coming. Having a baby with a stuffy nose and croup is horrible. We took him to his pediatrician and was informed that he had Bronchitis most likely caused from RSV. He didn't test for it but suspected that that was the horrible cold that was being passed around the house. We came home with a breathing machine for Ty. He had to wear it every 3 hours for a 7min. treatment for 4 days. He ended up being sick and coughing for a week but really only about 3 days were really bad. He must have a strong immune system (thank goodness). I remember when Jace had it at the same exact age. He was sick for a good 2 weeks with super high fevers. Ty only got a low grade fever that didn't last very long. I'm so glad that he is my healthy happy boy again.
