Breathing treatments

So, after about two breathing treatment sessions of holding him down and trying to get some of the medication in him, Austin decided that it would be easier if he just did it himself. We introduced the fact that the medicine was trying to tickle his nose and it has seemed to work ever since! He can now sit for an entire breathing treatment session if he handles the job himself! I guess we'll do whatever it takes!

Austin had to go back to the doctor today for a follow up appointment. She said that his lungs sounded clear, continue with the breathing treatments to help the congestion and finish out the steroid medication that she prescribed. This morning was the first time he took the steroid medicine and Daddy said that he took it like a champ! The pharmacist suggested last night that we start it this morning with breakfast as this particular steroid tends to keep kids awake after taking it! I agreed, I didn't want to stay up all night! Austin had the luxury of staying home with Daddy again all day today! I think it's off to school tomorrow so that Daddy can go to work on time and not have to wait until I get home. At some point we're going to have to get him back to his routine! It probably won't be for another week or so as he'll get to stay home all next week when Grandma Richards is here to play! Spoiled rotten I tell you!

Anyways, have I mentioned how exhausted I've felt lately? Hopefully I'll start to feel more energized once my house is finally organized! Yeah right...when is anything ever organized! Oh well, I'm off to get us ready for bed! From the tumbling that is going on inside my belly I may not be relaxing any time soon...
