It's that time of the year where EVERYONE IS SICK!!! Well I thought my little family was doing good all until about 2 days ago when Crew woke up not being able to breathe very well. I called his doctor and rushed him in. They diagnosed him him RSV right there. They did 2 oxygen tests on him and they weren't looking very good. So we did a suction treatment. CREW HATED IT! I was almost in tears because we had to hold him down while they stuck a tube in each nostril and sucked everything out of his lungs. Poor guy, almost clogged the machine with all the crap in his chest and nose. After that we did some more oxygen and then took the test again. He went up a few points and his wheezing while breathing wasn't as bad. But there was still a lot of wheezing is his lungs and lots of stuff still coming out of his nose. They sent us home to see how he does until the next day. Well anyone that knows Crew knows he is SO HAPPY ALL THE TIME. A little unusual for a kid that has RSV. He is such a good little boy. He slept for about 3 hours after the doctors appointment and woke up wanting to eat and play with Booduh and all his toys! What a Trooper! He woke up the next morning still wheezing a little but looking a lot better. His oxygen levels were about the same but with a lot more energy! Well as he was eating a cracker that day I thought I saw something stuck on the inside of his mouth. So as the good mom that I am, or thought at the time, I reached in to get it out. Well to my surprise it was not a stuck piece of food at all.... it was a FULL MOLAR! I had no idea that he was even getting that one in. He is such a good boy that it scares me that he won't tell me when he is in real pain. The molars are supposed to be one of the worst and I never knew he was getting ready to get it let alone HAVE IT FULLY IN!!!! I love Crew and am so thankful for the strong little guy he is! What did we do to get one of the most precious angels from up above??? We love you Crew and are so happy you are hanging in there! Get better soon! LOVE YOU!
P.S. Today he woke up chipper as always!!! Still contagious but getting better quickly!!! Thank you to those who have called to check in on him! We love you!
