A Rough Start...

to the new year. On New Years Day our little Aiden baby started getting sick. It started with his voice going hoarse and a couple hours later he spiked a high fever. As the night went on he was having trouble breathing and wheezing. It scared me so much that I took him into urgent care. As we were waiting in the waiting room a nurse heard him cough and immediately took us back before I had even checked in all the way. The doc came in and diagnosed him with croup. They gave him a steroid shot to open up his airways and also gave him a breathing treatment. His breathing got better but his cough worsened. So into our pediatricians office we went. She was worried about rsv and pneumonia so she sent us in for an xray. That was horrible. The way they had to strap him in to get an xray looked like torture but I know they had to do it. I had to hold his arms up while he was in this cylinder like tube. I felt so bad when his little eyes looked up at me although I knew it wasn't hurting him. We got a call from our ped and they said Aiden had pneumonia in his left lung. My poor baby. We then went back to to the pharmacy to get a stronger antibiotic and some albuterol solution. We are now through with half of his breathing treatments. We are doing them four times a day. He is doing so well with them. He just lets me rock him and he falls asleep almost every time. He is such a good boy. I just love him to pieces and it breaks my heart when he is sick. I hope he continues to get better each and every day and kicks this pneumonia in the butt. So needless to say 2010 isn't starting to good in the yee household. It can only get better from here:) I love you little boogie. Get better fast:)
