Say a Prayer for Toby

If you have a minute while reading this, please say a prayer for Toby.  If you remember, when he had his 2 month well child, we weren't sure he was classified as "well" due to congestion and weasing.  He hasn't gotten any better since his 2 month well child and is starting to get a little worse.

The nurse said his breathing sounded like a "percolating coffee machine".  The doctor came in to see him and wrote a diagnosis of cough and weasing.  Patient not in respiratory distress.  He ordered chest x-rays and wants to see what they reveal before making a diagnosis or deciding how to proceed. 

Overall, he is still a happy baby.  He was weighed on his 4 month birthday and weighed 15 pounds 14 ounces and was 25.5 inches long.  That is a 1 pound 7 ounce gain in 2 months and .25 inches taller!  He is smiling and talking as well as reaching for things with his hands.

I just hope that we can figure out why he is so raspy and help him breath easier.

Prayers on the way I hope they can get him cleared up. I know how stressful it can be when they are congested and with breathing problems especially! We have an extra nebulizer if you need one let me know.
