Bad, Bad Couple Of Weeks

Just a quick entry:

Bambino is currently having one breakout after another. And as if this isn't enough, he's also been having low grade fever to contend with. Two days ago, I found out what's causing the fever: upper respiratory tract infection.

Because of this, he's lost his already waning appetite. He still wants to nurse, but the congestion in his chest makes it difficult to suckle. For the second night last night, he would wake up every hour crying because he finds it difficult to breath. He wakes up the entire household with his lusty cries - I'm surprised the neighbors didn't call 911.

This is his first bout with colds and it doesn't look like it's your garden variety colds. He would probably require antibiotics just to ward off any other infections.

His appearance right now is one of the worst we've seen. Majority of his face is beet-red, along with some areas of his arms, torso and legs.

I took some photos for the new set of Derms that we're scheduled to see at Childrens' Hospital on Wednesday.
