Nicholas, for the past couple of weeks, has continued to be on-and-off sick. The past week has seen two visits to the hospital Emergency Room, where he's undergone a barage of blood tests and chest xrays, only to confirm nothing is wrong. We even had a "bloodborne bacteria scare" that ultimately involved a contaminated test and no bloodborne bacteria! All we know now is that they strongly suspect a virus, so there's not much more we can do except wait.
Nicholas' symptoms continue to be a persistent cough and occasional, sporadic fevers, both of which have caused him to miss a lot of daycare this past few weeks.
The doctors are apparently reluctant to label Nicholas as asthmatic, but we think they're leaning towards that diagnosis. Nicholas gets two nebulizer treatments per day of two medicines that could be used by asthmatics but we're not sure how much they help.. only time will tell.
Throughout everything, the most encouraring news is that nothing has prevented Nichoals from being his usual, happy, talkative, and playful self. His eating, drinking, sleeping, and bathroom schedule have remained normal.
