bronchitis again
Thursday, July 1, 2010 at 9:56AM Fletchers been poorly on and off for a few weeks now. took him to the doctors last week as he had a cough but they didnt think it was an infection or anything so he just had some cough medicine. it didnt work and the cough didnt go, by sunday he seemed a bit better so we went out and then he was sick and looked really poorly while we were out. we were very worried and didn't sleep a wink sunday night. back to the doctors monday and they found that he had bronchitis so he has 2 inhalers and antibiotics. it makes sense, he used to get it all the time when he was a baby and it often made him sick and very poorly looking. day four of meds today though and theres only a very slight improvement. he is so good though, he doesn't complain about anything, we had friends over visiting so they came round and all the kids were in the pool but he didn't complain at all that he couldn't go in. i would just love for him to be healthy for a while and not miss out all the time, he missed the last week of school which was all fun stuff. im hoping he will shake this illness and be able to enjoy the summer.
we are still awaiting the MRI results which we are meant to get on the 19th july. i must admit my stomach goes over everytime the phone rings incase its the hospital as im sure if the results were bad they wouldn't wait the full month? the MRI in itself was not very nice for Fletch, the couldn't find his veins again but spent about 5 minutes rooting around in each arm with a needle, it was awful. one positive though is they finally used a vein near his thumb which was easier so we will keep that in mind for future.
