Colin Update

Colin woke up this morning really congested. 

Every time we would cough, he choked. 

One word. 

Scary.

I called in for a sub,

and took our baby back to the doctor.

His oxygen was lower this time, so they tried a breathing treatment that didn't help (I guess it rarely does with RSV.)  We were sent home and given instructions to watch for warning signs.

Colin pretty much stayed the same symptom wise, but only nursed twice ALL DAY LONG.  This worried me, so Mike and I decided to take him to the ER.

The good news is, his oxygen levels are back to where they are supposed to be, you can apparently live off Pedialyte for 7 days (Yum) and we are back home.

The bad news is that RSV gets worse before it gets better. 

Please keep our little Colin in your prayers.  He has been such a trooper, but I know he is uncomfortable and RSV sucks. 

So here's to Colin and a speedy ER-less recovery!!!

So sorry that Colin and Michael are not feeling so hot. Hope all of you can get some rest and the boys heal quickly!

Thanks Heidi and Lib, you guys are so nice!

Heidi- This is nothing compared to what you went through with Caroline but it's still a little scary when your little one is having bad respiratory symptoms.
