From 5 Months


Little Hunter is still trying to get better. Last Wednesday Justin took him to the doctor because it seemed his cough was getting worse. When Justin got there, the doc said that his blood oxygen level was low (93). And since he doesn't smoke, that is not normal. So, they sent him to the hospital to get some x-rays taken. His lungs look good which rules out pneumonia. They gave us a nebulizer and some meds to do breathing treatments 3 times a day. We went back on Thursday only to find that his level was 95 which was improving but not the best. We are hoping the treatments help. He is in good spirits in spite of the cough which is a good sign. Other than this mild issue, he is growing like a weed. He is 14 lbs now and is starting to like his tummy time. Lots of talking, lots of laughs and many many beautiful smiles.

I remember the albuterol and pulmacort treatments all too well. I found it easiest to do the treatments when Sophie was sleeping. It sure does help and provides a speedy recovery :) I hope he gets better soon.
