Mama called the Dr. and the Dr. said...

...no more monkeys jumping on the bed.  Well, according to Evan anyway.  What the Dr. really said is that Evan has bronchiolitis and he needs to use a nebulizer for a few days to get rid of the wheezing.  Evan started coughing with a runny nose last week and then was worse over the weekend.  With Thanksgiving coming up, we didn't want to take any chances on him just getting better on his own.  Plus we wanted to rule out an ear infection and pneumonia (his cough had gotten pretty nasty!).  Evan had two breathing treatments at the pediatrician's office and then she sent us for a chest X-ray just to be sure.  Thankfully, everything came back negative and Evan was such an angel all afternoon.  After just one day of using the nebulizer, we already see him getting better!

Seriously, what 18 month old semi-smiles during a nebulizer treatment?

Feel better soon, Angel!
