Our little man had a yucky cough for 4 or 5 days. He was eating fine, smiling, sleeping and being our little man, just with a cough. I went to the EM doctor to get a referral for a dermatologist for myself and asked him to listen to little buddy's chest and make sure the cough wasn't in his chest. He had an appt on Tues for his 2 month check up and this was Sunday. He said he heard a "wheeze" and told me I probably needed to get it checked out. We go downstairs to the ped's office and he says "his chest is not clear at all". Then he orders chest x-rays and a culture to see what was going on. His chest x-rays showed some infiltrations, so the doctor tells us we're not leaving, he's checking Wills into the hospital for three or four days. Hmmmm.
We get a room. They put a line in (bad, bad, evil nurses. and he smiled at them when they were finished!) and start IV antibiotics until they know for sure what's going on. They give him the nebulizer every 6 hours. The doctor came in the next morning and said Wills has RSV/brochilitis with pneumonia infiltrations. They stop the antibiotics and tell us if he continues they way he is, we can go home the next day.
Now we're home. No meds, just saline drops for his nose. He's a tough little bug.

That's quite an adventure for a little bitty guy. He's going to think it's really cool when he's older.
