{Asthma}

Our littlest boy wasn't feeling well last week. He had quite the cough and a low grade fever. Unfortunately we had to bust out the Moo Cow. {Nebulizer}. We are very fortunate that this is really the worst of our illnesses in this house. Asthma. All three smaller kids inherited this very lucky disease. But fortunately, none have it as bad as I did when I was a kid. Plus, they actually don't mind doing the breathing treatments when needed, so that's a plus.







He only needed a couple of treatments over a couple of days and is feeling much better now.

{remember the other day?}

when i posted {this}??????

well.....



yeah.  i had this little one at the pedi last week.  ear infection and a bit wheezy.  moo cow nebulizers twice a day.  it's a good thing that they don't hate them too much.

{late night thoughts}

i've been thinking about this picture recently.  everybody in my family but bay has used the moo cow nebulizer in the last few weeks.  i hope it's not a sign of what's to come this winter.  this was late one night and it was just him and i.  poor babe.  everyone is feeling much better for now.  thank goodness.

{asthma & kids}

boo! poor kiddos. 3/4 of them got my crappy asthma. sorry kids. ian wasn't feeling so hot on this day. breathing treatments it is....

i've had asthma my whole life.  i remember waking up many times alone in my room scared.  as i get older, the scary attacks come less and less, but those big ones still get me.  i hate that the kids have it.  besides all of the restrictions and yuckiness of it, it can be very very scary.  i saw a poster at a mall once that said that asthma feels like a fish out of water.  it hit me.  it struck me with it's perfectness.  it is exactly what it feels like.
