Quarantined

My poor baby was diagnosed with RSV just two days ago. He had some cold symptoms mainly just a dry cough though. Then Tuesday his breathing was more wheezing. I took him wednesday morning and could not believe the diagnosis. The doctors told me he was very sick and his rsv was borderline neumonia but because of his age they believed his at home treatments would work out fine. They gave him two breathing treatments while in office and a shot to help open up his lungs. Maddox was NOT happy! Then again, he wasn't happy as soon as we stepped foot inside the office. I swear he remembers his shots and now anytime the dr even tries to touch him he freaks. I was really glad that they did not admit him to the hospital. Just shows you how strong this guy is, he was still pretty happy even with all this crap going on in his body. His left ear is infected and his throat looked like strep on top of his rsv. Anyway I purchased a machine and now he has breathing treatments here at home and is on some heavy meds. He did not like the breathing treatments at first and acted as though I was trying to kill him but now he sits there calmly and quietly while it's done. I had a super hard time at the dr office with him, Kurt was at work and I had alaina with me. His first treament was fine because he was passed out, but the second one...was a doozy. I have never had such a horrible experience in a dr's office before. It took all of me not to start crying myself. He was fighting the treatment so so SO BAD, I swear he thought I was seriously trying to murder him, it was TORTURE! Finally the last 5 mins he fell asleep.
He went in for another followup Thursday and they said he still has a ton of junk in his lungs but sounds better, I could tell by his mood he was doing better. He still has to be quarantined for 2 weeks which means Mommy is too. He is much more himself lately- talkative, smiley, and running around trying to fight with Dad. I am so grateful for everyones love and prayers for our little man and he is well on his way to recovery.^
