About Tyler...

Well, just wanted to put out an update on Tyler. We've been dealing with sickness for about two and a half weeks now with Tyler. Went to doctor last week, got the normal antibiotic b/c he had an ear infection in both ears, pretty bad. We thought he was getting better, today would be the 10th day on it, but yesterday, the fever started back, and last night, we were up all night long b/c of him coughing and breathing problems. So, back to the doctor we go this morning. I knew there was something wrong with them, call it mother's intuition, other than the ear infection. His chest was really tight, and he was breathing fast, and his little heart was beating fast. His pulse was high. They did two breathing treatments on him, and gave him a steroid to open him up. That wonderful amoxicillin did nothing for his ears, so he is now on a stronger antibiotic for that as well. Turns out he takes after his momma, and has asthma. So, he's doing breathing treatment every 4 hours now, and will go back to doctor on Monday for recheck. After the sickness is over, we'll get into how to deal with asthma and inhaler and all that. Wonderful! Needless to say, he is very hyper now (thanks to breathing treatment) and I'm supposed to keep him calm and not do anything strenuous for the next few days, lol, but he is much better and acting like himself again. Man, what a day!
