Thank you so much ((((((((((((((( everyone ))))))))))))))))

Daughter is asleep and baby is asleep so I wanted to update you.

We're still at home as things haven't progressed to anything dangerous. He's maintaining with this very well.

I have realized today while being here (and need to tell daughter) that his being still GREATLY helps his wheezing, rapid breathing, heartrate, all.

Small activity (even clapping one little hand on my hand and makes sense as to why it appears better at night for the most part) increases breath and it all cycles to worse. I've kept him completely still on my lap and his wheezing is greatly reduced, as is his heartrate and rapid breathing (all going hand in hand it seems. So, I've realized that *any* exertion or upset takes it spiralling.

I can only think that avoiding the irritation would help in healing so he'll just have to be held 24/7, coo'ed to and satiated. Umm, isn't that what babies are about anyway? A grandma's dream.

We're maintaining here and if I had to guage where he is right now, he seems to be a bit better than he was yesterday. We'll keep him as calm as possible till this thing runs its course and pray that it doesn't worsen for sure.

Thank you again so much and I'll try to be on this evening.

Love,

KD
