Oliver and I had a brief visit with the pulmonologist today so he could receive his second dose of Synagis. This medication is given monthly to high-risk babies (such as preemies) during cold season to help them fight RSV, which is a respiratory illness that isn't a big deal for older kids and adults but can have a bad impact on babies, especially little ones.
Respiratory illness this winter is our #1 fear for putting Oliver back in the hospital. Poor little guy really hollered when they gave him the shot. The nurse had warned me that it's a "thick" shot, which makes it hurt more. I tried to make it up to him the rest of the day with a lot of extra cuddles.
