Okay, okay, Michelle I get it! You were right!
On Wednesday night, I noticed Cannon was extra snotty! I also noticed that he was gagging a little when he took a deep breath. (The snot was leaking down his throast and he hated it! I gag when this happens to me as well!) I pulled him in the bed with me, suctioned his nose and watched him most of the night.
On Thursday, I called the doctor. I was instrutced to keep using the nasal aspirator, squirt saline in his nose and run the humdifier.
I followed my instructions but last night, he sounded even worse! Everytime he would breath he sounded as if he could not get any air! I kept him in bed with me again and jumped at every noise that he made! At 8:01 am I was placing another call to the doctor's office. This child had to be seen, what if he could not breath!!! So I take him and the doctor says I am doing everything right and that is all we can do. Cannon's lungs sounded fine, but he could hear the snot in his nose! I was instructed to get him some baby afrin and give it to him 6 times a day! So far, we have visited the peditrician FOUR times only TWO were for well-baby checkups!
Good news...He weighs 8 pounds 14 ounces!

oh dear poor little Cannon..is he feeling better? Probably hard to eat and breathe at the same time too huh?
God - isn't it awful when they are sick - you feel so helpless. He'll get better though - in about 7 days.
Glad that you could join the crazy mom's club.
