1st Trip to the Emergency Room

Korbyn went to see Dr. Lane on Friday for the cold he started to get on wednesday night. He had told us that it was just a virus that will go away on its own and to use a humidifier and saline drops in his nose. Since then Korbyn just keeps getting worse and worse. Last night he slept with my mom so i could get some MUCH NEEDED rest. (ive had maybe 8 hours of sleep in the last 7 days) That didn't work so well because Mommy is so used to having her baby by her side or sleeping on to of her that she couldnt sleep anyways!! This morning he just kept wheezing and coughing and sounded even worse then last night...which was pretty hard to believe...so both Gramma Lynn and Gramma Heidi and I took him to the Emergency room at the Prosser Hospital. Dr. Case said that he had an upper respiratory virus and both of his lungs sounded wheezy just because all of the congestion in his nose is going farther back from getting loosened up by the humidifier. He offered to do an RSV swab and take an X-ray of his lungs but he said that he had seen worse and he though Korbyn would be fine unless he starts gasping for air to bring him back in. He thought he would be fine in a few days when he gets all the crud out so we oppted not to do either of those test. Poor little guy has been running a fever for 4 days and sounds like hes hacking up his lungs when he coughs. I guess we just have to wait it out unless it gets worse. I know its very frustrating for him to not be able to breathe and eat like he wants to (hes eating 2 oz every 3 to4 hours instead of his 6 oz every 2 to 2 1/2 hours) he keeps grabbing his nose like he wants to just get all the crud out and has a few scratches on his nose from that. But, i think its even more frustrating for me to see my baby like this and not be able to do anything besides wait it out.
Hes such a happy baby though that through it all he keeps a smile on his face and has even gained 1 pound since Dr. Lane saw him friday!!
