Updates on the floofkin
So... now that you all know he's got bronchiolitis, you probably want to know what we're doing about it...
After a visit to the doctor where I was tempted to straight out ask if I could have him as my GP, but didn't, he was prescribed suppository paracetamol on the grounds that if we can't get it in through one end we'll get it in the other.
We've also been advised to get him saline nose drops and a humidifier, which my mother in law says will be expensive... I've decided if it's less than £20 then it's not too bad. humidifier I ordered
Way I figure it, I might end up needing it later on in life (like if either of my men ever get a respiratory thing again...) and it doubles up as a room freshener if I ever get my hands on a soluble essential oil... only downside to the one I ordered is that it apparently eats two AA batteries a night (which is OK because I have 58 of the bleeders...)
Meanwhile, the Floofkin is sleeping quite happily on the couch on top of the blanket that I placed there to keep him from bleeding on the couch cushions after one particularly horrible coughing fit had him bleeding so much it was coming out of his mouth. His temperature is still high, but there's not much that I can do about it other than keep him hydrated and give him paracetamol.
Oh and he only wants to listen to the numbers CD.
