Close call

Ricky was pretty sick last night, wheezing and coughing. Today he was not much better even after lots of breathing treatments. I ended up getting him in to see the pulmonologist and though his O2 was down a little bit, his PFTs were pretty great, and his lungs sounded okay too. So we went home with prescriptions for Prednisone and Levaquin. Sounds like he just has some reactive airway stuff going on. Whew. Of course, tonight he started to spike a fever and had trouble sleeping... So we'll see what tomorrow holds. But at least he didn't get admitted.
