We went for Brady's two month check-up/shots on February 20th. When I get there with him they do the normal weighing and measuring. He weighed 12 lbs and 12 oz and was 24 3/4 inches long.
Dr. O came in and talked to me answering my list of questions. One of my questions that I had called and asked the nurse later in the week was about his breathing. When he breathed you could feel his lungs cracking. The nurse told me that it was nothing and that I should suction out his nose. I tried that but the cracking was still there. Dr. O listened to his chest and her eyes got really big and she said-"This is not nothing!" I got scared and she ordered a chest x-ray and a RSv/Flu test on him. She told me that if these came up positive that she was going to admit him into the hospital for the weekend. So I headed off to the hospital to hand in his RSV swab and get his chest x-rayed. If you have never had a chest x-ray done on your infant you have no idea how awful it is. They put the babies into this crazy contraption that has them sitting straight up with their hands above their heads and they are completely enclosed in this plastic thing. It was awful...I started crying seeing him like that. He hated it also! He screamed the whole time and the minute she let the plastic off of him he stopped crying.
So to make a long story short...The results came back negative and Dr. O. put him on a nebulizer for a week. He loved his neb treatments!

Luke had RSV when he was 2 months old. Ihad just returned to work on Wednesday after being off for maternity leave, and then had to take another week off because he was in the hospital. It was not fun and I'm glad Brady is ok!
