Oh no, he's sick!

After calling a few pediatricians ... we finally got an appointment for Tyler today, Monday, December 17 at 3:10pm at Strab. They took all of our information and was able to bill our insurance! YAY! Don't get too excited. As mommy expected, Tyler IS sick. He has Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). He is congested and is coughing and wheezing because of it.

Mommy had to buy him a Nebulizer machine to help him take his medicines, albuterol and pulmicort. The machine turns the liquid medicine into a mist, so Tyler can breathe it in. Adults would take these medicines with an inhaler.

I feel so bad for him. You can hear the mucus in him when he breathes and coughs, but he is too young to know how to cough it up and spit it out. Hopefully the medicine will do its job and help him. *fingers crossed*
