What are parents to do?


I have decided that being a parent when your baby is sick is one of the hardest things to experience. Ben has had a little cold since about Christmas time. A few weeks ago his cough started to get really bad and he was wheezing. Last Friday morning he woke up with a fever of 102 which scared me to death. We of course took him straight to the doctor and he ended up having an ear infection (which caused the fever) and bronchialitis. It is basically like bronchitis but is further out in the air ways. So now he is doing breathing treatments 3 times a day while we try to get rid of his cough. They seem to be helping so he can breathe better. We went back to the doctor on Monday and he said that we need to just keep it up and hopefully it will go away. We go back to see him in 10 days. Ben seems like he is feeling better though. Even though he is sick, he still is our smiling baby.
