Not fun...
Leo has RSV (which is like bronchitis for babies). The poor little guy has a deep barking cough, a fever and is super congested. I took him to the doctor yesterday and they did a nose swab to confirm that he has the virus. They sent us home with our very own nebulizer machine and we have to do breathing treatments every four hours to help clear out his lungs. He HATES the treatments and screams for the entire 5 minutes. It is not easy to hold the mask over his face while holding his arms and legs down. I have recorded several episodes of Dora, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Yo Gabba Gabba in hopes to distract him during the treatment. Unfortunately the doctor said that we are at the beginning of the virus and it will get worse before it gets better. She said to plan on about two to three weeks before he is totally recovered. Yikes!!!
