Miles is sick again….

So… I picked up Miles from daycare at the end of the day on Friday and he was not feeling well at all. His breathing was scaring me… he also had a low grade fever and was lethargic.  I had never seen Miles so calm and dazed before.  Your assumptions are correct – I was in a panic!!

I called the ped’s office and talked to the on-call doctor and she said to monitor the fever. Since he had a history of wheezing, she wasn’t too worried – yet. She was also glad to hear that we owned a nebulizer and still have some of his drugs.  Her recommendation was to nebulize him and wait an hour – if things got better – Woo hoo!  If not, we were supposed to take him in.

An hour later – Miles breathing was getting better. I pushed fluids, so he was starting to perk up a bit too.  Crisis averted!!  However, we are still nebulizing several times a day.

The steroids for Miles’ breathing make him super hyper – so even as I write this on Sunday afternoon, Miles is in his crib,standing up, yelling in his manliest voice, and pounding on the thick side panels in a demonstration attempting to prove that he does not need a nap…

I assure that by this time this note is published – he will be passed out! For what goes up, must come down! Sweet Dreams, Little Miles!
