A little update on Eli

We have had a lot of questions about how Eli is doing so I thought I would do an update here...

Eli had a follow up appointment yesterday, mostly for them to listen to his lungs to make sure there was no pneumonia that was missed, and they sounded good. So, the diagnosis was Bronchiolitis which is a virus that causes the airways leading to the lungs to swell and fill with mucus, which cases breathing troubles. Eli has been getting neubulizer treatments to help, which seem to be making a difference. He is still coughing quite a bit, but seems to be breathing much easier than we was over the weekend. We were also told that the first few days of the cough are the worse, so he should start to improve in the next day or two, but the cough may persist for a week or two. So with the breathing treatments and some extra rest he should be as good as new in a week or two...then maybe Mommy can get some sleep!
