Sick Baby Update

So Parker has Broncialitis. He was also breathing faster than he should because his lungs were slightly constricted. The little guy had to have a breathing treatment through a nebulizer at the Dr.'s office, they had to put this tiny mask on his face & he had to breathe into the mask for 5 minutes. Suprisingly, he didn't cry or fuss, he just sat there on my lap with this little mask around his head.
We have to use an inhaler on him every 5 hours (see picture) until his coughing subsides. He doesn't seem to be feeling any better today, he usually eats about 35 oz. of formula each day, today he ate maybe 15 oz. The doctor did say that he wouldn't have much of an appetite. Please keep praying for our little boy to get better soon!

I am so sorry he was sick. So sad to see him so out of it. Makes my heart break. I am glad he is doing better!
