Today was a busy day. We had developmental clinic at St. Joes and that went pretty well. Everyone is pretty happy with Benjamin's progress. He weighed in at 16lbs and 10.5oz... He didn't do to much physio because he has a cold and has been struggling a bit with his breathing. We have to continue his physio and work on "tummy time". Benjamin isn't a fan of that. We ended up taking him to the doctor tonight. Yesterday morning Benjamin woke up coughing and a little wheezy. He has been in great spirits so we've just been keeping an eye on him...well the nurses at clinic today suggested we really keep a close watch as things can turn quick. We decided to take him in and the doctor said he has bronciolitis. His airway has narrowed from a cold and he is having to work harder to breathe. We got a dose of steriods and a ventolin inhaler to help. As long as he doesn't get lethargic and stops peeing we should be fine...if he does then we have to take him to the hospital immediately. I'm thankful for the RSV vaccine as it will help a lot when it comes to fighting this off. I know its pretty much inevitable that he get sick. Avery had a good cough, I had a throat infection...I was just hoping he would fight it. Now we just have to pray he kicks it and all will be well. I'm so scared he'll end up back in the hospital.... Anyways he's still happy and eating well so so far we are good....
