Poor little guy. I'm pretty much done with my cold. But the boy is having a hard time letting it go. Actually, he seems to be getting worse, except his fever is gone. Five weeks is a ridiculously long time to have a cough. Granted he has a cold on top of whatever it is that's really going on, but it seems obvious it's keeping him from healing properly.
The albuterol they gave him makes him cough worse and longer, so I wonder if he really does have asthma. Of course, it could just be helping his lungs work harder to get the gunk out. I just wish I knew. Maybe he needs an oral med or something. So we go back to the doctor yet again this afternoon to re-evaluate this asthma diagnosis and talk about chest xrays and fun things like that. Lovely. Did I mention I'm 38 weeks pregnant? I really am the only person I know who wants to go past her due date. Feb 29 looks really good right now.Labels: family, Health, Parenting, pregnancy
