Cole has contracted the cold that has seemed to circulate around us since the 2nd week of school. However, for him it is just more traumatic. He had just a run of the mill runny nose that went to his chest last night and today, and we have been having to give him Albuterol treatments this evening. Right now he is sleeping, though his breathing is fast. I have the room vaporized and will be checking on him constantly. I so pray for the day that viruses don't affect him this way.
Then there is the freaky thinker inside me that wonders if this is H1N1 (he spiked a fever this evening too) and maybe this is the worst it's going to get and my intense fear of this flu season will be here and gone before October hits.
Then there is the freaky thinker inside me that wonders if this starts this never-ending cycle of fighting off coughs and wheezing that will last until things bloom again in spring.
Then there is the level-headed one who thinks I should just take it a day at a time.

poor little guy!
we've been passing around a cold/flu thing for the past 3 weeks. i'm just getting over it and had it bad for 2 weeks. we didn't have any fevers so that made me feel better.
Hard to find that balance, isn't it? Sick babies can make the mind play all sorts of tricks. I hope he is able to get past this quickly. And you, too. :)
It's just that his underlying condition exacerbates the problem, so his colds are always going to be more than run-of-the-mill. Hang in there, Mommy. He's in the best hands possible! Love you all.
I'd go with the level-headed thinking Karen. Although, thanks to my inheritance of Granmda Jo's nerves, if I were in this situation I would definantly be the freaky thinker.
