On Friday afternoon I took Judah back to the doctor. The first time we went in and saw her she said if he hadn't gotten better in a week or he spiked a fever to come back immediately. He hadn't gotten any better but I didnt think he had gotten worse, so I decided to take him back. She listened to his chest and said he was worse and now the bronchitis was on both sides. She said it was time to put him on antibiotics. We decided to wait the weekend out and see what happened and if he hadnt improved by Sunday we'd get the prescription filled.
After a very long drive to church on Sunday morning with a screaming baby the whole way we decided we needed to get it filled. So now Judah has been on his antibiotics for 24 hours. His chest doesn't sound any better, as he's still quite wheezy and rattly, however that being said his appetite has picked right up. This is a great sign!
I've also started giving him a probiotic in hopes that the antibiotics wont strip his system. The course of antibiotics is for 7 days, and Im so ready for him to be better. I also had him weighed on Friday, 15 lbs 11 oz!
Keep you posted on how he continues to do!
