Stuart and I have been taking turns taking care of Connor at home the past few days. Connor’s fever finally resolved yesterday afternoon; it lasted almost 48 hours. Runny nose has improved a bit, coughing still continues but not as frequent, however, his breathing appeared more noisey now. His appetite has not returned to n
ormal; he prefers eating only fruits, occasionally some yogurt, and he finally had some noodle soup last night that I made for him. He is also quite whiny. We had made a doctor appointment yesterday for today, we decided to take him in anyway for check up. It turns out that Connor is wheezing now. The doctor gave him a duo neb (albuterol/ipratropium) treatment in the office. Connor was fine with the mask for 30 seconds, then he had enough of it. He cried and struggled so much to get it off. He was so strong that I had to use my whole body to keep him restrained. Poor little guy was exhausted after 10 minutes of fighting and finally gave up. After the treatment, his lungs sounded better, and the doctor was able to rule out pneumonia then. Now we will have to continue albuterol treatment at home every 4 to 6 hours for the next few days. Hope that he will continue to improve! Poor Connor is so exhausted that he is still sleeping in the car.
