In the next three days we visited the doctor again twice, went home with breathing treatments to open up his lungs the first time and then antibiotics the second time because his ear became cloudy from the backed up fluid in his system and the doc didn't want us miserable or in the ER over the weekend.
It has been a rough week! My happy go lucky, content and noisy baby couldn't even cry for days. He whimpered and laid on me while his body temperature climbed.
I swear RSV was originated in the pit of hell an it is Satan's creation to torture mothers. Listening to each grunted breathe throughout the whole night, watching each inch of his chest struggle for air, praying his body is getting what it needs. Watching him turn away food, struggle to nurse.
So the last few weeks have been rough in our home. The lack of sleep finally attacked me and I went into the walk in clinic with a terrible ear infection and walked out with 4 prescriptions to clear it up.
Fevers have finally broken, breathing is a little better. Food is once again being consumed and some rest is occurring. But the nights are still hard on him.
And while the doctor said he can be around other children again on Tuesday, the cough may linger upwards of close to a month :/
Here is the little Bean doing a breathing treatment wit Daddy. He is so strong and brave for such a little guy.
