Prayers for Aidan Please (not a joke)

[Pawsitive Thinking]

Awww poor little man, I hope he feels much better soon

If Katie ever coughed like this I used to sit in the bathroom with her, shut the door and windows and put the shower on as hot as possible so she could breathe in the steam

Anytime Mimi gets congested, I use the Vicks baby-rub on her constantly. Reapplied with every diaper change. It really seems to help, especially overnight.

But she's never coughed as hard as poor Aidan seems to be.

Hugs to you both and good thoughts to feel better soon.

Poor baby and poor you! You guys are in my prayers. Have you tried the sit-in-the-bathroom/steamroom with the hot water running trick? Seems like I spent many a night like that until my lungs cleared enough to get some sleep.

Not a fun time. Have you elevated one end of his crib? I did that with Jonah one time. It seemed to slightly help.

I wouldn't get **too** concerned with the loss of appetite. As long as he takes in some fluids, he should be okay. Also, Jonah hated the pedialyte. BUT, the gatorade? That was a winner. I gave him that diluted. Pedialyte is gross.

Our doctor said he didn't care for PediaLyte, so he suggested Liquilytes from Gerber. I'll try them in a little while.

Here come the gray hairs for you Samantha Puppy. Babies will do that to us moms! Your doctor is giving you good advice as far as just worrying about keeping him hydrated for now. About 2 1/2 years ago my grandson caught the horrible stomach virus that ran through our entire family and extended family. It was everywhere here in NJ it seemed! He couldn't keep anything down - not even simple water. His eyes were literally shrunken in and I was frightened beyond words. The doctor just suggested an ounce of water every 15 minutes or so. If that didn't work he would have needed to be hospitalized. It did work and eventually the bug passed. Tiny bits of liquid are important. Food will come later but keeping him hydrated is most important. Poor little guy. Prayers for Aiden from the entire PT family going up!
