Seems like we are always at the hospital. Tyler has been getting congested lately, more and more with each passing day. Last night he couldn't sleep because he could hardly breathe through his nose and newborns don't breathe through their mouths.
Of course I used the nasal aspirator but that didn't help because his congestion was deeper than that. So I called Children's Hospital this morning to see if I could give him nasal decongestant. They said I needed to take him into the E.R. because he could have RSV which is apparantly very serious.
Long story short, Tyler was an angel at the hospital, didn't cry once (he only cries at church apparently) and they just want us to use a humidifier and saline solution on him. He has a small virus they said, but it will work itself out. Phew.
Also, he is now 11.5 lbs!!! The nurses couldn't believe how much he's grown. They said there's no way he was born almost a month early! I told them all he does is eat so it makes sense he'd be so big. I think it's a blessing having him so big though because it makes his body stronger to be able to deal with viruses and sicknesses, etc.
Another update, I also have mastitis, I forgot to mention that. It's been 2 weeks and it's not better yet. So I'm having a lot of pain and I'm exhausted. I think I'm going to miss church today because I was up all night and I can barely keep my eyes open. The only reason I have time to blog is because I'm eating breakfast really quick before I go get in bed. Ok, breakfast is done. Goodnight.
