Sometimes life throws you a curveball...

This week has been a tough week for the Lorenzo household. It you had told me a month ago what I'm about to tell you was going to happen to us I would of never believed you.  About three weeks ago Landon kept breaking out in hives, the doctors kept telling me it was the mango baby food I had introduced him to. But after three weeks of hives I was not convinced the spoonful of mango I had given him was giving him weeks worth of hives. I was convinced he had suddenly developed a milk allergy so Rey and I decided to switch him to soy formula. Within a few days his hives were beginning to clear when he suddenly became very congested along with wheezing.  Rey and I both decided to take him into the pediatrician when the wheezing began. Our pediatrician informed us he could have one of three things: asthma, bronchitis, or allergies. Therefore, in order to help his breathing we were given a nebulizer to take home and administer breathing treatments every 4 hours. Thankfully with each day my smiley talkative little boy is starting to come around. I am remaining positive and have faith we will find an answer as to what is causing all of this and will be able to put this all behind us. :)

  3. Oh my...that is never fun. Poor little guy. You can take this for whatever it's worth....but with my four children, I have always been told that babies don't yet have allergies like adults do....only to pet dander, food, or dust. I sure hope y'all can find out quickly what it is. Good luck!

  12. oh man, at least he takes the nebulizer ok! we've had to use one with parker a few times for bronchitis & now again with croup. as soon as that thing is turned on he goes running & it's like trying to pin down a squirmy calf for him to get any of the steam!

    i hope you figure out what is causing this soon :(
