On Friday Chance started coughing a little bit, no big deal, probably just a little cold. Well Saturday rolled around and the coughing persisted along with a fever! After a sleepless night we contemplated taking him to Urgent Care. I just switched insurance and couldn't find one on Blue Cross's website that was open. My calls to Blue Cross were answered with "We are currently closed..." Okay, we thought we would make it through the day until we could get to the doctor on Monday. After another sleepless night, literally screaming about every hour and a half, our first call in the morning was to Dr. Joe. Charlie took him in and discovered he had a double ear infection and severe bronchitis (possibly on the verge of pneumonia). The doc ordered a chest x-ray just to be safe. About an hour later I got a call from the doctor's office confirming that he did in fact have pneumonia in both lungs! My poor little man. Well after three shots of respiratory antibiotics, two oral antibiotics and breathing treatments in 3, 4, 6, then 8 hour increments I am happy to report that he is feeling much better!
