RSV

I am sick. I have RSV which led to me getting an ear infection in my left ear and getting Bronchiolitis. Since Friday I had a low grade fever of 100.5 and a cough. The last two nights I have not slept well waking up every hour or two. Well this morning I decided to finally get my mommy's attention by wheezing and breathing faster. Finally she thought I should visit the doctor! Went I went in they hooked me up to a sats monitor and my oxygen level was only 88% (good would be above 94%) They didnt believe that number because I am so handsome and was smiling at the nurses. But after double checking, it was true. They put me on Oxygen and gave me a breathing treatment of albuterol. My sats after an hour or so was 92-95% on 0.5L of oxygen so they said I could go home, but I have to go home on Oxygen. I also have to do the breathing treatments every 6hours, take a steroid and an antibiotic for the ear infection. I go back tomorrow to the doctor - hopefully I am way better and dont need the oxygen any longer.

It's heartbreaking to see him hooked up to the O2 but he doesn't seemed phased by it...Hope you all have a good night and good news tomorrow! xoxoxomomxoxoxo
