Poor Lil' Clint

On Sunday Clint, who has had a mild cold for about a week, began to have trouble breathing. I took him to the ER and he was admitted with pneumonia. They said we caught it early so it wasn't a full blown case. After one long night in the hospital he was sent home with oxygen, a nebulizer, and medication. He is slowly beginning to feel better and today we finally got him to eat (he was only drinking formula). The Dr today said he is sounding much better, although he still wants us to use oxygen at night if he has trouble breathing, and to give the nebulizer again only if he is in distress. A nebulizer for those who don't know is a breathing treatment with the medication being breathed in like an inhaler only with a machine.


Our poor little man!!

Poor little man! We'll be praying for a speedy recovery. Hope Katie is feeling better also! :)
Hugs to you and Rick as I know it is difficult to see your baby sick.
