RSV is negative!
Wow, what a day. Patrick has been suffering from a cold for the last few days that we thought he was just about over. Well, today we took him to the doctor for his 2 month checkup. The doctor came in about the time Patrick had a coughing spell and threw up on me. So she said that we needed to change his well visit to a sick visit. She checked his ears, nose, and throat and listened to his lungs for a long time. Then she said he had too much fluid in his lungs and wanted to test him for RSV and do a breathing treatment with a nebulizer. So the nurse came in a did the RSV test (not fun to watch by the way!) and we gave him a treatment. He seemed to have calmed down quite a bit with the treatment but they were still concerned. Well over the next 2 hours (yes, we got there at 1:00 and left at 4:00) we did 2 more treatments and they decided he looked well enough to go home instead of the hospital. So we have to do breathing treatments every 2 hours until we go back to the doctor in the morning. I finally got a call about 6ish that said the RSV test was negative so that is a load off. Right now, Mouse is sleeping soundly in his car seat (so he can breathe a little easier). Stay tuned...hopefully we will not have to go the hospital sometime during the night. Here are his stats too: Weight=12 lbs 14.5 oz (48%)...so stop calling him fatty patty!! :} , Height=23 inches (50%), and Head Circumference=15.25 inches (10%)
