RSV

My poor little man has RSV now. :(
The Doctor told Scott ( I was at work so Scott took him to the dr. ) that William was the happiest little guy she's seen with RSV though.

It just means that he still has a respiratory infection. The same stuff is used to cure it as croup. He will still get his steroids, and the humidifier will help.

Scott didn't want to because Dayzy hated hers, but they offered a nebulizer. I wanted to get one if it helped William. So I picked one up after work and got the albuterol medicine to go in it. William was not fond of the little mask that covers his face. He cried most of the time. But I got a few good stretches with no coughing or fighting the mask. But I've noticed since then that he's been a little shaky after having it. I've heard and read a few things that say it can be a side effect. Don't go to www.medications.com the stuff they say is a little scary.

So I guess I really don't know if I want to give it to him again or not. I'm nervous and would obviously rather be more safe than sorry. As in stop doing it. But I really really want William to get better. What a pain, now is when I wish he could talk and let me know if it's too much for him or if it makes him not feel well.
