Bronchitis finally goes bye-bye!

Braxton back to his healthy self!

Oh the joys of having a little one that is sick...it seems the past 3 1/2 months Braxton has spent in and out of the doctor's office. It started the first weekend of October when we were out of town for Haley and Daniel's wedding and ended over Christmas break (when we were out of town) when we finally dispensed his LAST treatment for bronchitis. I think I'm seeing a pattern here?!?! During these 3 1/2 months Braxton would be coming out of his illness, only to fall back to square one which would require another visit to the doctor. These nights were tough on mom, dad, and Braxton as his sleep was interrupted during his coughing fits and the just not feeling well moments. Mom and dad spent many nights with Braxton asleep on our chest in the middle of the night and learned to function on just a few hours of sleep. We could never completely get him "healed." It was during this time I felt like I had our doctor's number on speed dial. :D Braxton ended up having three treatments for bronchitis as well as breathing treatments. The first treatment was 5 days, then we moved to 7 days, and then finally his last treatment was a 10-day one and was the white penicillin instead of the pink. Supposedly the "stronger" dose. So as I write this we have had a full week of him normal sleeping "through the night stint 8-7"! Who-hoo!
