Still sick baby...

It been almost a month now and the baby is still having breathing issues. We had to call 911 again and spent 3 nights down at Children's Memorial Hermann. We were released on Saturday, New Year's Day. He had a wheezing attack last Wednesday and then went limp on me. So we headed to The Woodlands hospital then they ambulanced us down to Children's just like before. The hospital experience was even worse than the other time. They poked my baby so many times, he finally got his iv in his neck. The 2 nice rapid response men came in and did that. I told the nurses, no more sticks and they called in those 2 guys who were good. Joseph was on oxygen, breathing treatments, steriods and oral medications for reflux. He finally was doing better and we got to come home. The day we went into the hospital he had an upper GI which showed mild reflux, and a chest x-ray (he's had 4 in the last 3 weeks) which still showed bronchiolitis. Since we've been home, I cannot sleep because I am so worried he is going to stop breathing. He is very congested and sometimes wheezes on and off all night. My mom and I went to the ER again Friday morning because of the wheezing, and they treated him and we went to see my pcp. If he doesn't get better within the week, we will go see a pulmonologist. I am also having major health insurance issues, so needless to say I am extremely stressed about so much. This is not what I signed up for when we decided to have a cute little HEALTHY bundle of joy.. Thank you all for your prayers we need them.

I'll soon post Christmas pictures..
