To say we’ve had a rough couple days is an understatement. Our little man is so sick. We were at the Dr.’s office for a little over 2 hours on Saturday morning. Jaiden has a stuffy nose, horrible cough, an extremely red sore throat, and is having a hard time breathing because of being so congested. The Dr explained that the one good thing going for him is that he doesn’t have a fever. We are to watch him extremely closely the next couple days. If he spikes a fever, his cough becomes louder, more frequent, or more intense, or if he struggles more than he already is with breathing, we are to take him to the hospital. She told us that if any of those things happen it will most likely mean that he has come down with RSV. This is a fairly common thing for babies and toddlers and they can normally bounce back within a week or so, BUT because he is still so young this isn’t the case for him. He would probably need to stay at the hospital for 2 – 3 days. The chances of this turning into pneumonia is greater for him than others who are older. Needless to say, any prayers for our little guy would be greatly appreciated. It’s just not fair that he has to go through this. He’s way too young. I’ll update again in the next couple days, hopefully on a much happier note!
