On the 30Th Cameron's eye was crusty when he woke up in the morning and so I decided to call the doctor and see what they recommended. He also had a stuffy nose and a slight dry cough, but I had read that there wasn't a whole lot that can be done about a cold, so I didn't think much of it. They said they wanted to see him and look at his eye to make sure it was okay, so I made his first sick baby appointment. When he woke up really late the next morning it was kind of a rush to get out of the door. So I feed him real quick and Jason put him in his car seat, I heard Jason saw Cameron and I came around the corner just in time to see his projectile spit up all over himself, his car seat and the floor. Of course I had to call and reschedule, so I feed him some more since he lost all of what he had eaten before. Then we made it to the doctor's office.
She checked him out and heard him wheezing when he breathed, something I was just starting to hear myself. She wanted to check him for RSV and give him a nebulizer treatment while we waited for the results of the test and to see if it helped his breathing. Well he had RSV, so we got sent home with an antibiotic for his eye and a nebulizer of our very own. He didn't seem to mind taking the treatments at first, but since I have to give it to him every 4 hours, except at night, he quickly grew tired of it.
He is still taking the treatments every four hours while he's awake and he's getting slightly more used to them. He's doing much better, his nose isn't that stuffed up anymore and he isn't coughing nearly as much, but his chest still sounds rattly. She said to give it to the end of this week and if there's still no improvement then to bring him back in. That's the bad thing about RSV, it can last up to 3 weeks, with the worst of it lasting up to 7 days.
Hopefully he will be better by Friday. The great thing has been that he has been all smiles throughout everything. I love seeing that smile.
