Bronchitis? :/

Last night was a REALLLLY bad night for Lowell :( He started to have a cough, and as the wee hours of the morning came it just got worse.. As soon as I was able I got myself & Lowell dressed & out the door to the peds office up here in Paradise. We were in there office @ 830 waiting for an appointment to check his oxygen level... I could definitely tell he wasn't breathing 100%... They got him in REALLY quickly.. but made us wear masks.. needless to say Lowell only kept his on for about 5 mins before he realized he could take it off.. His sats read 94% (which isnt as bad as I thought) but the doctor said he is beginning to get bronchitis... are you serious??? :( I was soo bummed when I heard him say that!! I thought we were going to go ALL WINTER without Lowell being sick... guess I set my hopes a little too high. So ever since 9am I have been routinely been giving Lowell Nebulizer treatments... the office gave me a new pediatric mask that we have never used before & it works AMAZING!!! Lowell has never fussed during all the neb treatments he had today (hes gotten 2 treatments that were about 15 min long, & 2 treatments that were about 5 min long), he just sat there patiently & didn't even move until they were finished... I am soooo proud!! he is such an amazing kid! he also took a 3 1/2 hour nap & a 2 hour nap.. guess his body needed the rest since he didnt get much last night. Hopefully tonight is a better night & we can get through it without too many wake-ups. I just KNOW how I get when he gets sick within his lungs, I wake up atleast 3 or 4 times & go to his crib & check to make sure he is breathing.. I am soo afraid of him not being able to breathe while he's sleeping...

well prayers & positive thoughts are greatly needed right now, I just hope he gets over this quickly & it doesn't effect him for long... love you all & will keep you posted on his progress :)


Look at my poor child.. :(
