Rohan Update...bronchiolitis

We spent 3 hours in Kirksville's ER this evening with our little man. He had been coughing and looking pretty miserable so I did a quick listen to his lungs and he had some wheezing along with his normal noises (he is NOT a quiet breather normally). He was also struggling a bit more to breathe and eat at the same time so we called the ER and decided to bring him in. They checked him for RSV (he was negative), gave him a breathing treatment (seemed to help for a little while), did a chest x-ray (mild congestion in a couple spots), gave him some steroids and sent us home. They diagnosed him with viral bronchiolitis, told us to watch for any worsening of symptoms and to follow up with his Dr. tomorrow. Poor little guy, looks and sounds absolutely pathetic:( Hopefully he'll have a restful night of sleep and feel a bit better in the morning.

Boo... :( There's nothing sadder than not being able to make him feel better- Good luck!!

Oh no, Roe-Roe!!! He needs to come spend time with his Aunt Michelle and get better.
