While we were home in California for Christmas, Jack got his first cold. While he got over the congestion, he was left with a bad cough. I took him into the doctor when we got home to have him checked out and the doctor said that everything sounded good and his cough was probably just left over from his cold. He told me that it would more than likely be gone within a week or so.
We continued to wait for the cough to subside, but it never did. Then, over a week ago he came down with another cold and he was running a little bit of a fever. So, to the doctor we went. She told us right away that he had a mild case of RSV and an ear infection. She gave us antibiotics for his ear and a nebulizer to do breathing treatments every 3-4 hours.
Jack had a hard time with it at first, and we had to chase him around with the mask a little bit, but after a while, he started to get used to it a little bit. He even started to pull the mask up to his mouth and hold it there. Now, the medicine is a different story. I just hope we got some of it in his mouth and not all down his chin. We go back to the doctor on Wednesday, and hopefully she will give us the all clear. Until then, here are some pictures of him during his breathing treatments.

He is so adorable, he has the best smile I've ever seen, even during something miserable as breathing treatments. Poor little guy, I'm so sorry! I love how happy he is looking up at you- he loves his mommy :)
Hey guys Abby got RSV last year and luckily didn't have to go to the hospital, just the breathing treatments. That was tough. Sorry we have gotten out of the habit of blogging the past few months. Hilary is due again in April with another little girl.
What a sweet baby. Smiling through it all! So cute.
Could he be any happier? He is so darling!
