Another bad cough for Steve

Well Steve has had the worst cough yet due to his on going nasal and respiratory issues.. It started late Monday night. He wasn't able to hold any liquids or food down.. His cough was so bad that it was causing him to gag.. I called Tues and had directions to hold of milk and just do pedalyte. which we did but that to was coming up..So with another bad night behind us I called the doc again this AM to be seen to check his oxygen levels and to make sure he wasn't dehydrating.. His levels were OK at 96. He has an ear infection on his right ear and he is wheezy on both upper and lower lungs.. He has some mild contractions on his stomach, meaning he is working a little harder to breathe but he was good enough to be sent home.. He will be on a 5 day dose of oral steroid and a 5 day does of antibiotics along with he regular dose of Albuetral in his pump and atrovent and flovent as needed.. Neither of those 3 meds help so I rarely use them.... Today so far he has been better. The cough has decreased and he finally got to hold down some food. My brave little man was a trooper threw it all. Smiling and trying to play regardless of him not feeling good.. We see and ENT next week so hopefully we will get some answers regarding his on going illness. For alittle over 2 mths Steve was seeing a pulmonologist but nothing they have tried has worked so we are now on the journey of an ENT..

Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers so we can get some answers behind this all.
