wheezie

What have we been up to this week? Well, RM came down with a runny nose Sunday, and was super clingy. No big deal, he's sick. Bummer. Tuesday morning he woke up and was wheezing like a mad man. I mean, for me to pull out the nebulizer within minutes of him waking up, you know it has to be bad. I took him in yesterday and every nurse and doctor turned to see who they could hear breathing as we walked down the hall. His breaths were at 65-70 per minute last night, which was scary. We have been up at all hours doing breathing treatments every 3 hours, and unfortunately are going to have to do them twice a day for the next 6 months as a sort of 'maintenence' for this issue. I feel so horrible for this little man. He's been a great sport despite his playtime and sleep getting interupted constantly. Pray for us if you will, that we will have patience and find fun ways to get RM to sit still that stimulate his constant need for learning and imagination. So far, we have been employing baby einstein a little more than I would prefer.
