Matt had quite an eventful trip to the doctor last week. His cough was pretty bad and he had started coughing in his sleep so we brought him in for a check on Wednesday. The doctor said he could hear quite a bit of congestion in his chest; he actually said that Matt sounded "very junkie." So we had to give him a nebulizer treatment of albuteral to see if that would help clear up some of the congestion. He wasn't too keen on having a mask over his face for 15 minutes but he was actually quite good about it. Thankfully Daddy was there to help hold down his arms when he got restless (and to take some pictures)! Then while we waited for the doctor again, Matt had a grand old time playing with the paper that lines the table. Considering we were at the doctor's office for an hour and a half, he was a very good boy! Turns out he has bronchiolitis, which is a virus, and there's not much that can be done for it. We raised his crib mattress, we've been using a humidifier, and we take him in the bathroom and let the shower run for some hot steam once in a while. He's seems to be getting better and at least he's not coughing in his sleep anymore! I have a cold as well that just doesn't want to go away, but at least we are sick together!
Matt got a really neat new sled from his Nanny and Grampy for Christmas! It is a great little seat, and he sat in it in Nanny and Grampy's kitchen on Sunday mornings many times (it was an early Christmas present I guess). This was his first ride outside in the snow and he wasn't too sure what to make of it. He didn't complain, but he wasn't all smiles either. By the end, we got a few little smiles out of him so we'll give it another try next time it snows!
Here are just a few pictures from our holiday season. We hope you all have a very Merry Christmas!
Matt was either in a really good mood for no apparent reason or he really loved having his daddy's had on his head! I think it was the latter!
