How do we have fun around here?

Albuterol 4 times a day X2!

Kyle decided to join Nora in having Asthma. And boy did he join in full force. Truthfully, I have been suspecting that this was the case for quite a while now, it just took him getting really sick for us to believe it, I guess. Poor kid! When we took him to the doctor on Tuesday his oxygen reading was 92%. At 89% they put kiddos in the hospital. Luckily, we already own a nebulizer machine and an abundant amount of Albuterol, so we got started right away with the treatments. And since Nora is on her way to getting sick, we decided to treat her as well, before she catches up with her brother!
Kyle is on antibiotics (for his double ear infections) and steroids (for his lungs). So much fun! We took him to the doctor yesterday and again today for oxygen reads. He was at 98% this morning. Thank goodness for steroids and Albuterol! And I am so grateful that my kids are so cooperative with the treatments. Kyle just sits there the whole 10 minutes and never complains. He's such a good boy and so cute about all of it.
I had an appointment for him to see the allergist this morning for some testing, but with all he has going on and the meds...the tests wouldn't work. So we'll have to wait until he's cleared up. Hopefully he'll be up and running around (while breathing happily) soon. Now is the time for Nora to catch up!




Does this sounds like a 2 year old?
Yesterday when we were at the doctor, waiting in the exam room, Nora grabbed onto Kyle's shirt for support. Kyle yells, "Dr, Scharff needs to see my back!" I say, "Why Kyle? What's wrong with your back?" He replies, "Nora touched me on my back! Dr. Scharff needs to see it!"
