Bronchitis or Asthma...Or Both?

Monday, daycare called and had me pick up my kids because my youngest, Vincent, who is almost 6 months old, had a fever. Tuesday, I took him to the daycare at my job instead of regular daycare because regular daycare said he had to be out 24 hours after the fever. Now, at his four-month visit, we had noticed he had had a cough for a few weeks, so we mentioned it to his doctor. She listened to his lungs, said they sounded clear, and said maybe it was allergies. About a month later, the cough persisted, so I made another appointment to check him. At the time, we all had a stomach virus, and the doctor was more concerned about his diarrhea and prescribed him an antibiotic for the virus and Floraster to keep him from getting dehydrated. Again, she listened to his lungs, said they sounded clear, and said maybe it was allergies. Yesterday, John took off from work to take him to the doctor again. This time, there was noticeable congestion. Vinny's been having a hard time sleeping at night because of it. This time, they said he might have bronchitis, he might have asthma, or he might have both. They prescribed him an inhaler, a mask to use with the inhaler, and an antibiotic for bronchitis. I can't explain how much this hurts. It is sad thinking out my 6-month old and how he could have asthma attacks. It's sad placing the mask over his face so we can make sure he's breathing the inhaler in. He doesn't like the mask. He squirms and cries. He doesn't like the antibiotic and spits it out so I have to give it to him with his formula. I really, really hope it's not asthma. I had a friend who died of an asthma attack a few years back. Well, it was technically heart failure, but the heart failure was brought on by an asthma attack because she did not have her inhaler. I am trying not to imagine the worst. So, please pray for my son. All prayers are much appreciated.
