Sick Baby

Our baby boy has his second cold, his first one was when he'd only been in daycare for less than a week. He was congested during the night Friday night and Saturday night. Sunday morning, he woke up with a runny nose, watery eyes, and a cough. He would cough up mucus and that would make him throw up. Poor little guy, he felt so bad. He was also running a low fever. Monday, he stayed home from daycare and he went to the doctor (he weighed 16 lb 12 oz!). We saw the nurse practitioner and she said he just has a cold and to do what we've been doing--humidifier at night, head elevated, suction his nose (she did say to use a saline spray which we are now doing), and to give him plenty of fluids. He's starting to feel a little better, still a little stopped up and still coughing.
He looks so pitiful!

 

 He still manages to smile even though he feels bad.
