Addison is still sick

I just finished giving Addison his first nebulizer treatment. His cold seemed to be steady and today he wasn't getting any better and towards the evening, he started to get worse. He's got a horrible cough and still clear snot. He's a little bit wheezy but it's not in his lungs (that I can hear anyways). He slept most of the day and his temperature has been around 99.5. I thought his condition warranted a call to the on call doctor and she thought he would be ok to be seen in the morning. There's a bad stomach virus going through our hospital and we didn't want to risk exposing him to anything with an already weakened immune system. She said that when I come in, they'll try a nebulizer treatment and that if he responds, they'd send me home with a machine. I told her that I already had albuterol, saline, and a machine from my daughter so I was instructed to try a treatment to see if it helps.

Addison was really intrigued by the mask and the steam coming out. It seems to have helped a little bit. He's not wheezing as much and he is acting a bit happier. He's very raspy from coughing for days and he's not showing any signs of RSV. The on call pediatrician will have the nurse call first thing in the morning to schedule us an appointment. We still haven't heard any results from his culture on Sunday. I guess no news is good news.
