Bronchiolitis

Sounds made-up, doesn't it? I've heard of bronchitis before, but never this. Poor little Justin came down with it over the weekend. It started with a cold-like cough and runny nose, but quickly turned into wheezing, deep coughing fits, and more (see http://www.drgreene.com/21_1040.html). When he breathes, he sounds like a cat purring! The doctor prescribed an inhaler and Singulair due to my family history of asthma, and it is quite a feat to get a squirmy baby to take this medicine! The inhaler also makes him super hyper, kind of like when I've had some caffeine and it gets into his milk. So, he's pretty happy even though he's sick. The upside to all of this is that I've been able to stay home and "mother" him for the past 2 days. Yay! During one of his hyper moments, I got a picture of him munching on his gator. Bill coached football at Central High School for a couple years, and the Gators were their biggest rivals.
