Thanks, guys.

Yes, I do think he has asthmatic bronchitis from the flu. He's had it before from viruses and fought it off with use of an inhaler but no antibiotics.

MrsD, thank you. Yes, I've done the bathroom thing twice now...once last night and then again this a.m. when he woke up tight. He seems to only get really tight when he tries to sleep or is really active. Right now he's maintaining, and if he spikes any temp or coughing increases to where I think he's short of breath or something...to the ER we go. If not, I'm calling dr. first thing in the a.m.

They don't have anyone on call. He goes to a well child clinic here.
