Brecken has had a terrible cough for the past couple weeks that got suddenly worse this weekend. He can't sleep because of it. It's a nasty sounding cough. Josh called Dr. Jake yesterday while we were in Lyman and Jake thought it sounded like the strep throat that has been going around lately. So, I stayed home with him today and got him into the clinic.
No strep, thank goodness. His throat is red and irritated but not yucky like strep. No fever, either. Just a lot of junk in his lungs. So we got sent home with a nebulizer machine to give him nebulizer treatments for the next week or so. Hopefully that will get the junk loosened so it will come out and his cough will go away.
We pulled up to the clinic and B goes, "Sucker medicine!!" He knows what you get there, apparently! The whole exam, he kept asking Jake for a sucker. He got one at the end, and had it gone by the time we left. :)
The GREAT news is, he gained a ton of weight in the past 2 months! He was at 22 lbs 10 oz today! He had his jammies on still, but they are lightweight cotton and his diaper was brand new so that didn't weigh anything. That's almost a pound and a half in 2 months- I'll say a little over a pound if you take away the clothes. YAY! That's the most he's gained in that period of time!
