hospital stay for bronchiolitis

So. . . Chris has had a rough week. He got a cold a week ago. I figured, I'm a doctor, it's a cold, and I can handle it at home. Then this Tuesday night, his breathing got a lot worse. I heard Chris making noise on the monitor, and when I picked him up, he was breathing really fast. It was as if he was panting. I checked his respiratory rate, and it was 100 breaths per minute. That's really, really fast. A kid his age should breathe 50 times per minute or less. So, we took him into the ER, where he got breathing treatments. He was much better after the nebs, but was still breathing hard, so he was admitted. We spent yesterday in the hospital, and came home today. He is now doing just fine. There was no pneumonia- just bronchiolitis. Now he has home oxygen at night until he's completely better, but he doesn't need it during the day. We also now have a nebulizer machine.
