Day 40. Worse.

Turns out Chase doesn't have croup, he has something worse. 

After a really rough night with him waking about every 20-30 minutes with wheezing, coughing, difficulty breathing, and a high fever, I took him back to the doctor today. Turns out he has a respiratory virus that lies somewhere on the spectrum between bronchiolitis and asthma. That doesn't mean he has asthma, just a virus that acts like asthma. So he is now on an inhaler until the wheezing and labored breathing gets better.


I'm already seeing improvement in his breathing, so let's hope we get some sleep tonight! I'm one TIRED mama!

What a brave little boy you are, Chase. And you must be exhausted, Erin. May God heal and protect you ALL from further sickness!
