Today is the first day of Spring, and aside from the chance of snow for today, things are looking up! We had a rough week last week - I had my first ear infection, my first sinus infection and Will had his first sick visit to the doctor! We have all been under the weather, but today is the first day we are both feeling more like ourselves.The sad part about Will's visit to the doctor was the breathing treatments. He was wheezing, so we did a breathing treatment in the office and then we are continuing them at home through the weekend. However, it is possible that Will might have asthma in which case some form of these treatments may continue. They are going to check him out at his 1 year visit and we will go from there. Poor guy!
In the office, I had to hold him for 10 minutes while he wore a mask and got his medicine. I dont think Will has been still in my lap for 10 minutes since he was a tiny baby - probably the newborn stage. Even when he was just a few months old, he wanted you to walk him around when you were holding him. So, this 10 minute activity felt like forever and Will really hated it.
Luckily at home, we have Yo Gabba Gabba to distract him (thank you DJ Lance Rock!) and things seem to go much easier. We have this little yellow taxi nebulizer on loan (how nice is that!) and Will seems to enjoy playing with the tubing. Next time we give him a treatment, I will check his poor ear! That looks uncomfortable. It seems like he has been feeling better everyday. His cough seems to be almost gone, and he appears to be back to his normal happy little self.
