He's been really sniffley for two weeks with a cough that's gotten progressively worse over time. The last few nights he's had to sleep propped up bc otherwise he would choke all night on his coughs.
Wednesday his day care said he had a fever, which has lasted on and off through yesterday. We measured him at home and he was at 101.6, but by the time we reached the hospital it was at 102.8. This was the first time he'd ever really had a fever before.
The doctor was really nice this time. There's this mean guy we've dealt with in the past, very condescending. Anyway, she ordered Oliver some chest X-rays. And that's how we found out there was stuff in his lungs.
Luckily we caught it early, but it doesn't make it any easier. He has to take antibiotics twice a day for 10 days and they said the bacteria should be all out of his lungs!
Trying to give him 9.6 ml of antibiotics is NOT easy. This morning we were both crying at the end! Wish us good luck over the next few days!
Here's Ollie and Daddy before we went to the ER. He NEVER cuddles like this. For us its the first sign of sickness!
