Sick baby!

So a couple weeks ago, baby Bentley, got sick.. for a couple days he was coughing and had a runny nose, so i wasn't sure if it was just alittle allergies or because the season was changing or what... but we decided to call the doctors. I called the doctors one morning after listening to bentley being really congested and hoped they would let us run in there real quick! Thank goodness they said yes! As soon as we got there, we didn't even have to wait a minute, they called his name back right away. We got into the room and the doctor put the stethiscope up to his stomach and back to listen to his lungs. He was sounding really congested and also weezy. When babies are weezy it worries them because if it doesn't go away, they'll be sent to the hospital...They grabbed tubes for their nebulizer and gave bentley some medicine to put in there. Thank goodness he fell asleep because i'm sure it would have freaked him out if he had that on his face while he was awake... the treatment only took a few minutes and then the doc. listened to his breathing again. It was sounding better. They prescribed him some medicine for a nebulizer and gave us a brand new nebulizer. They walked in the door with a fire truck nebulizer......jeff asked if there was anything other than a fire truck, because of being a cop =]. unfortunatly they didn't have anything else... he joked about it and asked for a brown bag so that no one would see what it was. we had to continue doing treatment for 2 weeks, with check ups inbetween.. He's doing much better now! I'm so thankful it never got too serious!!
