Well, we took Lukas to the dr again and he said the same thing as the other dr. That Lukas has a cold. I guess that's all it is but he's so miserable. I can't stand it. It's really bad at night. Lukas has been sleeping with me the past few nights and he wakes up kicking, tossing himself all over and screaming. There's nothing I can do when he does it either. He will not let me touch him or hold him, like he is in a lot of pain. I told the dr he was doing that but he didn't act like it was a big deal. Last night I was so frustrated b/c I could not help Lukas that I just sat up and cried with him until he was able to cry himself back to sleep. I really hope he feels better soon.

I'm so sorry that your little guy is sick right now. It's the pits when they can't articulate what's hurting/making them feel bad. Probably he's so miserable w/ a stuffy nose & tired that he's just not waking up & that's why you're getting punched/kicked & screamed at. My oldest was asthmatic due to respiratory problems @ birth (month long NICU stay) & we had problems all the time w/ colds/flu etc...
Have you seen the vanilla shower soothers? They are mild compared to the regular ones. I will sit in the bathroom w/ the shower curtain partly open & close the bathroom door. Then fire away. My little one still gets the benefit w/o it being too strong.
You probably already do this one but I'm also a firm believer in saline nasal spray. Nothing addictive & nothing that's not natural. It really does help. I hope that he gets better soon.
My son was born premature and also in NICU but luckily he hasn't had any problems since. I think I might try those vanilla shower soothers, I've used them before for myself and they are great. I think I'll by some johnson's baby vapor bath too b/c that stuff is pretty good.
I might be wrong..but I think little kids don't know what is going on when they are sick and it scares them. If two doctors agree, it is hopefully only a cold.
