...Finding What Works

Love those brown eyes!

We finally figured out something that works to keep Brett still during his long treatments - watching BabyTV on the iPhone. It's difficult to watch regular TV because it's all the way across the room and you can't hear it over the compressor no matter how much you blare it (and usually the other kids are trying to go to sleep, so that's no good). Then we saw that we could get a Baby TV iPhone app that lets him watch episodes of his little shows up close and be able to hear it over the compressor as well! 

The viral panel (nasal swab) we did last Friday when I took him in tested positive for rhinovirus again (the common cold). Again, none of us in the family or regular caregivers have been sick. He's still breathing fast and working hard to breathe, but still feeling good. We're going back on the oral steroids for 5 days to see if it helps him over this virus. If he worsens, it may mean going back in the hospital.

  1. Man, we've come a long way in entertaining our children, haven't we??? Blows my mind . .and just think, when my boys were that small, we didn't even have color TV . . .LOL

    Hopefully these apps will make his treatments more 'enjoyable' for the both of you!

    Yep, those eyes are gorgeous - but not as pretty as that smile! (smiley face)

    Yep. One set of beautiful brown eyes to go along with that heartwarming smile. Guess I better download Baby TV to my iPhone or iPad before my next visit! Gotta keep The Little Man happy. He deserves everything he gets.

    Now I just realized how that last sentence came out. Of course, I meant he deserves every GOOD thing that comes into his life - including Baby TV on a smart phone,

  5. What a mama won't find or do to make it easier for her sweet little one! I know that eases things for you just a little, too. :)
