My sick baby. =(

Lets start off with the pictures tonight. The one to the left is Will at 6 weeks and 4 days old. This is also his sick picture. To the right is Will and I. We are both sick. He just fell asleep. He always has to sleep like this. But anyways, now I am going to talk about my baby recently. Since he turned 4 weeks old, he has been sick.  It has been a different thing every week. At 4 weeks old, he acquired a cough. (This just went away, 2 weeks later.) Also at 4 weeks his constipation got alot worse. It has not really gotten better yet. At 5 weeks old, he still had his cough. He also has a sneeze and sniffles. Also he started not to eat, and would throw up all of this food. He would only eat 3 ounces for a few days, then it dropped down to one (since he did this, he lost a pound). He would also sleep all day long. This week (he is 6 weeks and 4 days old) he just got rid of his cough, is congested to the point that I have to suck his nose out every 45-60 minutes, he is not longer throwing up but is spitting up, and no longer sleeps most of the day. He went to the ER last night because he could not breath from all the snot in his nose, and he was blowing bubbles in his sleep and i did not want him to choke. When we got to the ER they did all the normal triage things (weight check, temp check, oxygen level, heart rate, and asked what was wrong with him). He did gain almost .4 ounces back. He is now 9 pounds 5 ounces. So that is a huge plus! They also came to the conclusion that he has a Respiratory Infection, and I need to keep sucking his nose out and use saline. But he is making progress, so that is great. He goes back to the DR on Tuesday for a check up, to see how he is doing. Also if I am still sick, I get meds. But I am almost better so that is great. But anyways this is up to date now on him. So I am going to read my nightly devotional, and read The Vow some more. =)
