Sick Baby Update

Kaleb's cough and stuffy nose became more frequent yesterday. Ran the cool mist humidifier last night and kept sucking out his nose- seemed to help a little bit until coughing fits from 3-5 a.m. (was almost ready to head to the ER). I felt so bad for him, he would get done and just let out a single soft cry =(. His little eye lids were all puffy too. It didn't matter what position he was in, he was either stuffy/coughing or not.

This morning he kept coughing and coughing and his mouth turned light blue *panic!*, had to rub him a few times to get him to catch his breath after a cough. I finally decided to play Dr. Jenn and give him a half of the min dose allowed of Robitussin for Infants....seems to be working as Kaleb has only coughed a few times in the last 3 hours and they weren't as bad as this morning.

He is sleeping peacefully in his seat.

(His appetite is still normal...!).
