Illness

Well, after 3 ½ hours or so at an Immediate Care, Calvin was diagnosed with bronchitis. The good news is that he is not contagious.  He was fine this morning and through lunch but when he woke up from his nap he was coughing.  The coughing then began to include wheezing which worsened by about 7p.  After consulting with our friend (also a nurse), I decided he needed to be seen by a physician tonight.  He had 2 breathing treatments and a chest x-ray (it’s not pneumonia).  So we are taking good care of him and are glad we didn’t mess around with it.  He is prone to respiratory things in general, so this wasn’t too surprising.  I’m happy it wasn’t anything more serious.  The doctor was really great as was the staff.  I was very impressed.  Calvin did pretty well (really if you didn’t listen to his breathing you would think he was fine) – even though he missed his bedtime by 4 ½ hours.  He is asleep now with the baby monitor close to his crib and my head.  Hope he sleeps well and long! :)
