Evan had his check-up with Dr. Ettinger this morning. Evan was sporting his Gator outfit since Dr. E is also a Gator alum like his dad. His chest sounded much better than it did on Thursday, but his congestion has moved up into his nose. We have to start using saline spray and then suctioning his nose out really well. That's something we know Evan will just love!!
We don't have to do the albuterol nebulizer treatments anymore, but instead Evan has to take Dimetapp with Albuterol added into the syrup three times a day (it tastes like grape, yum). He may have to take this for a while, but it's fine to take long term according to the doc. Evan still has to finish out his antibiotics until next Monday. We thought Evan would get out of the office without having a shot, but alas, another shot, this time in his chunka right thigh. This shot is to help make sure he doesn't develop pneumonia. We had the option of an oral treatment over the course of a few days, or the one-time shot; so blame mom and dad for this one!
No return visits until his Synagis shot at the end of next week. Hopefully that will be the last shot for the season. He'll start back up in the fall again. His 9-month well-baby check up will be on May 1st (even though he turns 9-months on April 14th).
