I took JD back to the doctor today. He was in last Wednesday and they said he had bronchiolitis (which is really just a bronchial infection) so we started him on the nebulizer. The doctor told Tim if he didn’t make any improvement over the next week we should bring him back in–so we did. But it sounds like it’s just something he’s going to have to fight his way through. The good news is that he doesn’t appear to have any other symptoms than a cough. He’s in delightful spirits, he’s still eating well and sleeping pretty well, so we’re not worried. The doctor said it’s just going to take time for the cough to go away (he said a couple weeks). So… we’ll give it some more time. I just wanted to be sure we took him in before it developed into something else.
The funniest part is that we’ll actually be going back to the doctor’s this coming Tuesday for his 4 month well-child visit. I guess they’ll be seeing a lot of JD this month! 🙂
And so begins another winter of sleepless nights due to children coughing. Oh well, it could be worse. It could be you coughing.. Or Tim coughing in your face… Or Dende coughing up… well you know what I mean. Hang in there. They will grow up eventually and be able to blow their own noses and so forth!
