RSV......dum dum dum!



Hudson had his 6-month well-child check-up yesterday. He is doing great in all his developmental/social milestones. He's keeping up with his growth (even though he had lost some weight since his last check-up, he's been sick). He was 15 lbs. 2 oz. Then he listened to his breathing, and decided he sounded a little wheezy.

He had been to the doctor the week before cause he was sick with a fever/cough, and there was a few RSV cases at daycare, so we had him checked out, only to find out it was just a cold. He started to get a little better, but was still coughing, and started to sound a little wheezy so we decided to just wait until his 6-month check.



Anyway, back to the check-up. Dr. wanted to suction him out to see if that would help. It didn't, so they did the RSV test and checked his oxygen levels. Then they gave him a nebulizer treatment (its basically a giant inhaler with a fun little dinosaur mask). The RSV results came back from the lab positive, so now we have to do the nebulizer treatment a couple times a day to help him breathe. He wasn't showing any signs of discomfort or trouble breathing, so we weren't too concerned about it, and neither was his Dr. Hopefully he gets over it soon!





GLOWORM LOVE!
