Since Lawson was 5 weeks old, we've been dealing with breathing issues. He's sounded congested at first, maybe a little head cold, and it's progressively gotten worse- coughing and sometimes vomiting at night and sounding like Darth Vader during the day. Due to his laid back personality, his pediatrician labeled him as a "happy weezer". After albuterol treatments, steroids and antibiotics, all which would help for a short period but never fully "cleared him up" we were able to see a specialist. At Asthma and Allergy they checked him out for asthma, bronchitis, pneumonia, but none were what the doctor was hearing in his little chest. Plus with the later, babies typically don't eat and if you seen my boy, he eats. He eats really well;)
The doctor diagnosed him with Bronchilitis which is an infection or mucus in the bronchiles. We're on a new treatment now that will help dry out the infection. Lord willingly, the little guy won't get any more colds over this 2 week treatment so he can finally completely heal. Already he's sleeping better and is a super happy baby. Yay, Lawson!
