Strep No 8 and a cough

Last week Broc and his brother came down with really high fevers.I took them to the dr and they both have strep throat.They were both put on antibiotics and the fevers came down.Broc's took a little longer to come down about 5 days.

Over the weekend they both develope really bad coughs and the ped said that it is normal after and infection like that.We gave them honey and Mark was able to have a decongestant too that seemed too help him get better.I was doing saline treatments for Broc and honey too but he was just getting worse.

We called the ped and he said that he should have an x-ray to make sure that he doesn't have fluid on his lungs.We had the x-ray taken and were told to stay and wait.Never before had they told me that so that sent up red flags for me.The dr called them back and said that he has RAD Reactive Airway Disease which is a form of asthma. He is on breathing treatments now until his surgery in 2 weeks. There are so many things happening to our poor little guy.It is such a fight as he does not like the treatments at all.

We are hoping that he gets better soon so that he can have the surgery and hopefully stay healthy for a while.
