Sick Toddler :(

Am

So I have a scheduled c-section (so I’m very pregnant) on Wednesday morning and my little boy is sick. We went to urgent care yesterday because he’s technically had a cough at night for almost a month following a cold and now seems to have another cold with wheezing. We have to do breathing treatments for him which he hates and has been refusing so that’s going great.

He took a nap earlier from 10-10:45 and so far (it’s 2:45) hasn’t napped again. About every hour or so he starts going up the stairs, says “night night” and wants us to put him in his crib—he tries to sleep for a bit then stands up and yells for us and when we go in his room he wants out of his crib. We try to get him to continue trying to sleep but no luck.

We’ve been doing tylenol and zarbees, humidifier, saline, warm liquids and just more liquids in general, and going in the steamy bathroom.

Any other tips to make him more comfortable/help him sleep more? He has a terrible cough which is of course making sleep difficult. When he is awake, he pretty much just eats/drinks and watches TV on the couch with us. My poor little guy. I really want him to feel better before we have to leave him for the hospital on Wednesday.
