Jack has come down with his first cold :( When I (Laura) went in for my doctor's appointments yesterday, my doctor (who is also Jack's doctor) heard him cough and said she needed to listen to his lungs. 3 prescriptions and a chest x-ray later, he's doing ok. We went back to the doctor today and she said that he's not really doing any better (which she didn't really expect), but he's not doing any worse - which is what she was checking for. Whatever he has is viral...possibly a touch of pneumonia. He also might have asthma, but it's too soon to tell. We go back to the doctor tomorrow morning. She said she expects to see a turn-around in the next 24 hours.
We are very thankful that Jack's doing as well as he is. He's got a really nasty sounding cough, but he's happy and alert and playing. The doctor said if he didn't look as good as he does, he would be in the hospital right now. But since he looks good, we can do outpatient care. Our doctor said that if he sounded like this and was 2 years old, it wouldn't be a big deal at all. But since he's so little she's being very cautious.
Please pray that Jack gets better soon!
