Doctor visit

On June 9th, Tate had his 9 month check up and we were happy because he had a nasty cough going on for about a week. We found out that he had croup, so we treated it with Robitussin, Vicks Baths, Baby Vicks Vaporub and a Cool Mist humidifier. His cough started sounding more productive and we thought he was getting better. Well, we were wrong...he just kept coughing and coughing these last several weeks. His cough wasn't very frequent, only a few times per day he would have a bit of a coughing attack and we would also hear him coughing in the night. It hasn't been accompanied by any other cold like symptoms so we just thought it would eventually go away. Well, it's been almost 2 months and I couldn't take it anymore. I took him to Dr. Timboe to see what was going on. Tate has always been fine at the Doctor's office, but today, as soon as Dr. Timboe got near him, he started shaking from the core! It was so sad! He didn't cry, he just whined and was grabbing onto me for dear life and couldn't stop shaking. I don't know if he just got to the age that he can now remember what sometimes happens (shots!) at the doctor or what the deal was, but he was truly terrified. Anyway, to make a long story short, Dr. Timboe thinks he might have asthma. :( He's not sure, he said it may just be allergies, but right now he has prescribed some medicine that will address both asthma and allergies and we're going to give it 10 days or so and see if he's improved. If not, we're going to have to go to plan B. I just want my poor baby to stop coughing! I hope it's not asthma, but honestly I don't want it to be allergies either! I have had both and neither are fun! Anyway, if you all could say a quick prayer for him, we would appreciate it! We'll keep you posted!
