Mom, I've got ath-ma

This week we have found ourselves, yet again, living at the doctors office. Kirky started getting cruddy Tuesday but I attributed it to the changing weather. Thursday, it got worse and his temp jumped up to 103. We took him in and found out the boy has the flu. This was Dannys first trip with me to the dr and he got to experience the thrill of finger pricks, breathing treatments, and chest xrays. I thought he might cry. We had to take him back in today to make sure he didn't need to be hospitalized. We got the results of the chest fray and it turns out baby boy has asthma! We get to give him a breathing treatment everyday atleast until the summer. Have any of you tried to hold a wiggly 9 month old still long enough for one of those? It is no joke! So I have a question for you ladies. I want to completely de-dust me house and clean with the alergy reducing stuff but I've also heard that I might stir things up and make them worse. What do ya think?

Take him to Grammie's then you can try to use a steamer. Also if you use any products that have lavander, get rid of them, that can make the asthma worse. Especailly the bath and lotion stuff for bedtime. email me if you have any other questions... nate_n_megsmom@yahoo.com
