Our Little Trooper

Well the sickness continues on for our little guy. After over three weeks of a yucky cough, Hudson began wheezing this weekend and running a low grade fever. Although we were just in the doctor's office a week and a half ago for pink eye, we decided to bring him back for another look. Good thing we did because he has a full blown ear infection in the left ear, with the right ear not far behind. Because of the wheezing, his oxygen level is a little low, so we had to bring home a nebulizer and give him breathing treatments (where we hold this mask over his face for about 6-10 minutes while he breathes the medicine) three times a day, along with an antibiotic. We will go back later in the week to check his progress. All this going on, and he has been remarkable. Not once did he let on that his ears were bothering him, and he even has been sleeping better....go figure! Despite all of this, he's still giving us smiles.
Say a prayer that our sweet boy gets better quickly.

OMG,

That's soo weird. Kylie is going through the same thing. She was also wheezing last week and is also on the nebulizer, so I feel your frustration. She was put on antibiotics last week for pertussis. Her cough has gotten a lot better. She doesn't do as well as Hudson though, she absoltely HATES it! Well good luck! Hudson, the Newcombes are praying for your health and we hope you get well soon buddy!!
