Bronchiolitis

That's what my poor baby has :( We had to take him back into the doctor this morning because he was still coughing and had started wheezing last night. He had to sit through two breathing treatments, which he was NOT happy about. He was so pathetic but finally calmed down and sat through the rest of the treatment.

So now, we have to give him saline drops about 10 minutes before he eats and give him the nebulizer treatment about every 4 hours for the next 3 days. Marshall does not enjoy anything around his nose so he usually ends up in a screaming fit while I try to get the saline drops in. We have to take him back to the doctor for a follow up on Monday so I'm hoping he reacts well to this treatment over the next day otherwise he has the nebulizer treatment for the next 9 days.

I am really hoping this isn't an indicator of things to come. I have really bad sinuses myself and my brother had bad asthma as a child. So fingers crossed that Marshall didn't inherit any of that.
