Wheezing... Again

Apparently the changing weather and pollen has become an issue for big guy. On Wednesday he woke up with a slight cold. By Thursday night, he had a wicked cough. Flash forward to two am on Friday and big guy was up coughing until 4:30! And it only got worse from there. By the time grandma C came to spend the day he was wheezing. And after she nebulized, he puked up the few grapes he had eaten. Then he napped for a few hours. He was up when I got home. But wheezing big time, I've never seen wheezing like that. His diaphragm was jumping Up and down. So I popped in cars2 and nebulized him. He drank a couple of sips of juice and then sat with me. About a half hour later, he puked it all up and was looking pretty pathetic. I called the dr and spoke with the nurse. She was concerned about the wheezing. She said the pollen wasn't helping the trouble with his breathing. So we are inside with the air on for a while. And to give him a sip of something every ten minutes. Which we did with pedialyte drink boxes that hubs in a moment of brilliance had bought during the last cold. And we definitely slept a lot better last night getting up at eleven to nebulize/fight mommy while nebulizing. But he slept until 5:30. We've nebulized and drank a juice box even taking a few bites of bagel. But we are off to the drs in a little bit. The nurse was concerned after all.
