One Sick Boy...update

So since the rash and everything else Gavin just wasn't getting better so on Monday we took him back into the doctor. She came in checked him out and then did a breathing treatment came back and checked again. She said that she couldn't hear anything but since he wasn't getting better she wanted to do a chest x-ray to make sure the pneumonia was gone. (Thank goodness our insurance kicked in on the 1st!) That was not fun! Gavin had to sit on this bike looking seat with his legs hanging down while these two big plastic things came in about his tummy and chest. I had to hold his arms up above his head so he basically was encased in a plastic tube once everything was in place. He just screamed and screamed! It broke my heart. Lucky the x-ray came back negative so the pneumonia is gone. No more antibiotic! Yeah! Which is actually what caused the rash..... Anyway since his cough was getting worse instead of better she said we needed to put Gavin on a nebulizer (sp?) and do treatments 3 times a day for 7 -10 days. So ..... hopefully this is the end of the month of sickness. We'll keep you posted on further developments.
