Baby Timmy
Poor baby Timmy has had a bad cough for the past few days. We took him to the doctor on Wednesday and found out he has bronchialitis. That means the bronchial tubes in his lungs are irritated and filled with fluid. He coughs to try to loosen things up. He was tested for RSV and the flu but both tests came back negative (we were very relieved). There is nothing the doctor could give him since this is a viral infection not a bacterial infection. The doctor gave him a saline nebulizer treatment while we where there and his oxygen level rose so she suggested we put him in a steamy room as often as we can. Other than that, we have elevated his bed and have a humidifier on in the room he is sleeping in now. After of Easter, Benny gets moved into the spare room and Timmy gets the nursery. Brad is looking forward to possibly getting more sleep because Timmy is currently sleeping in a bassinet in our room. Please pray that Timmy gets over this quickly.
