I Guess It Was Time

I must say, up until today, we have avoided going to the doctor for respiratory issues for quiet sometime. Anytime Camden starts with his horrible cough, we pull out the breathing treatments and do our best to stay on top of it so it does not turn into anything that requires other medication. We battled a cough for almost two months in November and December, but it never got really bad or out of control where he needed to see the doctor. Well, over a week ago, Camden started with cold like symptoms which eventually moved down into his chest. We once again started his breathing treatments, but by yesterday, he was sounding worse. He had a low grade fever last night, but he when he woke up this morning, it was gone. I sent him to school, but by mid morning, I emailed the director of his daycare and asked if she would just check on him since he was not himself the night before. She emailed back and said she was just about to email me per his teacher's request because it was not even nap time yet and he was already laying on his nap mat. So, I made him an appointment and Shane took him in. Sure enough, he had a low grade fever and she diagnosed him with sinusitis which moved down into his chest causing some wheezing and he also had a left ear infection. She prescribed him Augmentin, Prednisone, Albuterol breathing treatments, as well as his daily inhaler and Zyrtec which we also use daily. Luckily the Prednisone is only for 4 days since that always seems to upset his sleeping. So hopefully by the weekend my little guy will be back in full force. He needs to be 100% by next Saturday, which is his 2nd birthday!
