In the hospital :(

Thursday night, Trevor had a cough that began to worsen and he started running fever.  Friday morning at 7am, I knew something was really wrong.  His breathing was very labored, fast, and shallow.  Sure signs that he was not getting adequate oxygen.  I took him straight in to his pediatrician's office.  Just a few minutes after arriving, they were getting papers ready to admit him to the hospital.  Dr. Hubble said he had some type of lung infection and was obviously having difficulty breathing.  After arriving at the hospital, they started IV antibiotics, steroids, and nebulizer treatments every hour.  He was tested for RSV and it came back positive.  RSV is a very dangerous virus for babies that were premature like Trevor.  On the 2nd day, he was able to tolerate nebulizer treatments every 2 hours, and now on the 3rd day, he is getting them every 4 hours.  I can see a drastic improvement this morning.  I am so thankful that he is improving so quickly and responding well to all of the treatments.  I haven't seen him so sick since he was in the NICU.  It was terrifying, because it started so quickly and turned bad so fast.  Most children will have contracted RSV by age 2yrs, but most are not affected as badly as Trevor at this age.  In adults, RSV is simply the virus that causes a common cold.  No big deal.  But for some reason, it is very dangerous to little miracles like my Trevor, and can make them very sick.
