Asthma X 2

I've had a wretched cold all week.  Sadly, Camden started getting it yesterday and it quickly escalated into an asthma flare up.  I tried giving him a nebulizer treatment at home, but our machine was broken.  Thankfully, they were able to get him in quickly at the pediatrician's office.  They tested his oxygen levels when we first arrived and they were only around 90-92%.  Not good at all.  Thankfully, after a treatment, he was up to 96%.  Sadly, since these flare-ups have been happening consistently every time he gets a cold, he earned himself an official asthma diagnosis today.  :-(  Dr. Anderson put him on the same treatment plan as Ryker.  He now will do a preventive treatment inhaler twice a day and a rescue inhaler as needed for flare-ups.  The bright spot in this is that she allowed us to use the inhalers instead of the nebulizer treatments.  He HATES the nebulizer and it is awful trying to give them to him.  However, he sees Ryker do his puffs (that's what we call them) every day and since he has a severe case of hero worship for his big brother he thinks it is cool to do whatever Ryker does.  Thankfully, he has adjusted very well and the treatments are working great and he is breathing and sounding much better.  I'm disappointed that both of the boys have to live with this, but am hopeful they will outgrow it as Dr. Anderson has said is a possibility.

Playing and waiting for the doc to come back in.
