Prayers/good thoughts for my little one please  

post #1 of 13
Thread Starter 
Ronan started with a head cold two weeks ago and now it's gone into his lungs. He's ok for most of the day/night, but he does go into little coughing fits. I thought he was getting better today but then he coughed for about ten minutes this afternoon. He could stop himself for 10-15 seconds at a time, but then he would start up again.
Poor little thing was sweating and crying toward the end of it

I called the midwife right after that and she came over a little bit later and checked on his lungs.
She said he looked so good that she was surprised when she listened to them.
She brought a nebulizer for me to use (just saline in it), and I have some chest rub I'm using. She said she will be back on thurs. to check on him, and of course to call if he got any worse.
If he's not noticeably better in the next two days we will be taking him in to see the Dr.

I'd really appreciate your prayers/thoughts/good vibes, it's so hard to see such a wee one sick.

Autumnmama - although he doesn't have a cough, ds has a yucky cold, too. I've been fighting it, too. (DH brought it home from work, ugh!)

I was looking online last night for ANYTHING I could do to help ds breathe better (his nose is runny & stuffy and it's hard for him to nurse & sleep). I was also looking for the best saline solution recipe for him. I found a bunch of sites recommending putting a couple of drops of breastmilk in each side - afterall it does have the antibodies in it!

I never thought of that (don't know why since it seems to work on most other things! Duh!) so I tried it. It worked! He slept for 3 hrs! And it only took a few drops and he was able to eat better, etc. He's a lot better today.

Just thought I'd share that info! :HUG for you & your ds

Aww.. I hate seeing wee little ones sick!

Lucien got all stuffy and congested a few weeks ago too. He had a yucky, sticky sounding cough. One day of it and I brought him in to my doc and to my total shock my doc said he was perfectly clear. I don't know what it was but it cleared up.

NOW two days ago he got a cold. He coughs and is a bit congested but its not bad enough to bother him.

I hope your little guy feels better soon!
