If you have been wondering where we have been for awhile, these pictures tell all. Poor Poor Matthew started out Saturday with a bad cough, so we took him to the doctor and they gave us a nebulizer to do breathing treatments with. By Monday he was wheezing horribly all the time and coughing like a seal uncontrollably. Classic Croup symptoms. We were scheduled to go back to the doctor at 4, but at 3 he threw up all over my mom and was just not himself, so we rushed him to the doctor early and they were able to give him a steroid that would make his cough go away. It took until the next day, but he finally started sounding normal.
On top of all of that, whenever he eats, he coughs which makes him throw up all of his bottle. Our carpet, clothes are covered in rotten puked up milk...oh the fun of a sick child.
It is now almost a week later and he seems to be feeling a lot better, but he is still throwing up most of what he eats, mainly due to his acid reflux disease, combined with his cough. While I was taking the picture of the milk coming out of his nose, he decided to give me an even better picture.
(Note to Matthews Birthmom: I did immediately put down the camera and clean him up/ console him :-) hahaha) He really isn't bothered by it and just continues right on playing. So that has been our week, poor little guy. Hopefully he will get over this soon. So far (knock on wood) the rest of us have managed to not catch it.
