I thought we were out of the woods with Natalie almost over her cold and no signs of it in any of the rest of us. But then Saturday night happened, and just like that, Milo is sick. And he's not just any old sick, he's really sick. He has the worst croupy sounding cough, like he's barking. And the most miserable little cry...it's heartbreaking. Yesterday evening he started wheezing pretty badly, so we took him into the urgent care. They didn't like the wheezing, or the way his chest was contracting when he tried to breathe, so they gave him an Albuterol breathing treatment. He hated it, and cried or moaned through the whole thing, and was dripping with sweat after, but it did help. They gave us a nebulizer to take home and some steroids to help open his airways up. So far he's had 3 breathing treatments and is about to get his second dose of steroids. Haven't seen much improvement yet, but we have a follow-up appointment on Tuesday, so hopefully he'll be better by then. The sad part is that the appointment is the same time as Natalie's ballet class that she already missed last week because she was sick. I may just send her along with Yvette, so she doesn't have to miss another session. She'll have more fun there anyways, and it will be easier for me too.
So keep Milo in your thoughts and hope that he gets better soon!! It's no fun when your babies are sick.

Awww, I'm sorry your little guy is so sick. Hopefully he will be feeling better soon!
I LOVE your new page. Please share how to do that! I'm sick of mine already.
Sorry to hear that. Hope he feels better soon. And oh, I lurve your new layout. I've been wanting to redesign mine for ages, but I always screw it up so I don't bother.
Poor Milo baby! Madeline had to go through that with the nebulizer and the breathing treatments. It was scary at the time, but it helped so much!
Let me know when he is all better because we need to hang out! I miss you!
Poor Milo! Nathan & Jackson had croup last week and it's no fun. Nathan has had it countless times and now that he's getting older, it's finally more mild than when he was young. Jackson had it just like you described Milo...wheezing, barking and unable to catch a breath. The steroids do work though...not as fast as a steroid shot, but they work nonetheless. I hope he's doing better :(
I'll keep him in my prayers. He sounds miserable!
so sorry milo is feeling sick! my lil Evan was sick about a week ago. have you tried putting a vicks hot steam vaporizor in his room at night? that helped our SB a lot. hope Milo gets better!
Bless his heart. I hope he feels better soon.
