Thanksgiving illness

Poor Nooney is sick with bronchitis.  He came in our bed around 2 am last night and was sounding pretty bad.  Bad enough that I got out the nebulizer which we haven't had to use in probably 6 months or more and gave him a breathing treatment.  Bad enough that I was running emergency room scenarios through my head.  He was wheezing so much it really sounded like we had a purring cat in our bed.  Luckily the treatment did seem to slow down his breathing and loosen it up a bit.  I took him in to the pediatrician this morning and she said it was really good that I brought him in - he was not breathing that well, although his O2 sats were still ok.  He's on an antibiotic, oral steroid, and 4 breathing treatments a day with 2 different meds.  Poor baby!
