Bryce has gotten his first MAJOR URI this winter, hopefully his last. (doubt it but one can hope) and MRSA! Yup MRSA! Leave it to Bryce to get that! I have no idea how....
Last week Bryce has what looked like a pimple on his back well a few days passed and the "pimple" took on a life of its own... It was huge, red and pussy (TMI I know) so needless to say we took a trip to pedi.
She has to cut it open and drain it while we were there to test it for MRSA, of course it is. So she started Bactrim. The next day Thurs he started with a cough... I let it go thinking he was on antibiotics and they would help.
Well come the weekend he had gotten worse, cough was pretty bad. Sats were still good though so I did nebs and left it alone. Monday he was real bad coughing and wheezy low grade temp. I took him into pedi they started him on prednisone, continue nebs every 4 hours, continue abx.
Tuesday night comes along, I gave him his before bed nebs and layed him down. Went in to check him he was satting at 87! Thats very low for him... So I turned up his O2 from 100cc's to 500 cc's by the time I was done and could only get him to sat 94.
Called the doc today brought him to Pedi and Pulmonary (otherwise we have had to go to the hospital) pulmonary thinks he will be fine, but he does have and ear infection (eventhough he has been on ABX for 7 days now) and an RSV Type virus. Continue meds as we were and watch closely!
THANK GOD no hospital! He has been very cranky and uncomfortable but I think it would be worse in the hospital....
Anyway here are some semi recent pics:

Just read your posting. Sorry to hear about Bryce's health. He is a lucky boy to have a mom that knows what to do in this type of situation. How is your health? It can't be easy trying to juggle work with everything else. You are a very strong person. The pictures are great.
