Just a Little Scare!


I am little bit behind on blogging but since the last time I have taken the time to blog Bryson has made a trip to the ER and to the Dr.'s office. Mimi picked Bryson up from daycare and noticed that he was wheezing pretty bad and so when I got to Mimi's to pick him up I called the dr.'s office. I spoke with the nurse and she asked me several questions and every answer was yes so she suggested that we take Bryson to the ER immediately. I was pretty scared because I was not sure how serious it was. We got to the ER and they did chest x-rays to check for pneumonia and they swabbed him for RSV. Both tests came back ok so they were still unsure about what was causing his breathing to be labored. They gave him a breathing treatment at the ER and told us to follow up with the pediatrician the next day. We saw Dr. Jones and he too was unsure of exactly what was wrong. He said that he could have a viral infection or it could possibly have been asthma related, especially since Bradley has asthma problems, so he sent us home with a nebulizer and we had to give him at least 2 breathing treatments a day as well as a steroid by mouth and by the 4th day he was much better. We are hoping this was just a little fluke and that he will not have asthma or any more problems breathing but we have plenty of breathing treatments left just in case. Bryson weighed 19 lbs at the Dr.'s office. Here are some pictures of Bryson's first ER visit and his first experience "smoking his pipe". :)

Getting into everything.
He sure doesn't look
