We went to the doctor and Elliott had a breathing treatment. After the breathing treatment, the doctor tested his oxygen level and it had actually dropped. If you saw my previous post, you would know that Elliott has had a terrible cold. Anyway, the doctor opened up the door and told the receptionist to call a squad to transport him to Children's Hospital. Ok...mom freaking out at this point. He didn't seem like he was in distress, he was actually smiling a bit.
The Squad came and little Elliott smiled at the friendly EMT's. We went to Children's and 6 hours later we found out he has RSV. You can read about it here.
So, they said that he is at a borderline age to keep him or he can go home. With RSV, there is not much they can do. He cannot be treated with antibiotics for RSV is a Virus. They didn't seem to be too worried and sent us home with directions on what to look out for.
He is home with us. Our house smells like Eucalyptus because we are burning OLBAS oil on the stove. This stuff has pretty much become a staple for the cure all in our house.

Poor little Elliot...he sounds like he's being a trooper though. I will keep praying for his little body to heal, and that mom and dad can stay strong.
You just wait, Elliot has had his share of health issues, he's probably going to grow up to be an olympic athlete or something...
Awww, poor little guy! Hope it runs through him quick!!! Get some sleep!
Elliott is very cute and it sounds like he is being a strong little man! I work for a Apria Healthcare and we deliver to a lot of RSV kids. Of course, I take all my clothes off at the door of my house so not to infect Trey. We will pray for your family! Btw, my wife was impressed you remembered my nickname!! :>
