Bronchiolitis

My baby boy has come down with a case of Bronchiolitis- a severe form of Bronchitis. It started on Saturday with a runny nose that turned into a cold and now this. Dr K gave us a breathing machine that we have to use every 4 hours until he gets better. We also have to monitor his breathing since his airways are so constricted. Talk about staying up all night watching your baby sleep/ breathe! This is absolutely the worst feeling in the world.

Please pray for our baby- that his breathing stabilizes and the breathing treatments work. And also for me and Matt as we have the same cold that Carter had.

Praying for Carter! It's so hard when your baby is sick, and you can't do anything to make him feel better.
Looks like we were both up making sure our babies were breathing okay last night. It's just an awful feeling!!
Thanks for sharing your prayer request...please know that you, Matt, and Carter are in my prayers!

My daughter had Bronchiolitis back in April when she was 6 months actual/3 months adjusted. Because she was a preemie and has chronic lung disease, we actually ended up going to the hospital to get treated. Even though the breathing machine is a pain, it really helps them! I will be praying for you!
