Unfortunately our little booger is sick. The good news is he's not acting like he feels sick which is encouraging. Starting last Saturday he just started sounding a little junky when he was breathing. A nurse came out and listened to him on Monday and his lungs sounded clear so we were relieved. But yesterday he started sounding worse and worse. He hasn't had a fever and has still been happy and playful. So today we went to the doctor to have him listened to and to get his monthly shot for RSV. Our doctor wasn't there so we saw another doctor who was very nice. He said he has bronchiolitis which means the little airways in his lungs have mucus in them that he needs to cough up. We'll go back to the doctor in the morning. In reading about this they said that it normally peaks several days after the onset of symptoms so I'm hoping that yesterday and today are our peak and that he'll start getting better. It is so scary. I want Spring to hurry and get here!!!

In other news, occupational therapy did come eval him yesterday and they will start seeing him once a week. And then today the special education teacher who specializes in vision came and she will start seeing him 2 times a month. She gave us some real good ideas in terms of working with him visually. Things are finally starting to come together!

Poor little guy! I want this winter season over quickly so you (and we!) won't have to worry about viruses, flu, or crud of any kind. I'm glad he's in good hands, yours and the docs! love, lots....
