Connor started coughing again on Monday, and it became worse by Wednesday. It sounded quite deep, and he was coughing overnight too. He got woken up by the coughs at 11:45pm on Wednesday night. We gave him a dose of Tylenol to make him more comfortable. Connor continued to not staying down very long; by then, I decided to give him a few puffs of albuterol MDI for the cough. His breathing or cough did not seem to change much after that. I sat with him for awhile at the rocking chair, then attempted to have him sleep with me in our bed. But Connor only laid down for a few minutes at a time, and kept wanting to crawl off the bed. I finally gave up trying to contain him; he got down from the bed, and walked up and down the hallway on his own. He just
did not seem to be tired at all, and once, he even pointed to a book and rubbed his chest "please" to ask me to read. I finally just returned him to the crib and let him cried. After some crying and finally at 1:30am, he went down to sleep again. Unfortunately, he was up at 5:45am the next morning.
Yesterday afternoon, I received a call from his teacher telling me that his cough was still quite bad. He was coughing throughout his lunch, nap and snack time. He even gave up eating his snack as the cough kept interfering. After the call, I decided to take him in to see the doctor at 5pm. During the appointment, Connor got scared and started crying, but did calm down quickly for the doctor to listen to his chest. Fortunately, his chest sounded clear, no wheezing. The doctor diagnosed him with bronchiolitis, and swabbed him to test for RSV which came back negative fortunately. Last evening his cough was slightly improved, and he slept through the night again, but woke up early though.
Logan started to have a runny nose and a mild cough as of yesterday. Hope both boys will shake this cold off soon.
