Well, as it has been 3 weeks to the day since the last illness it was about time we went back to our dear friend, the pediatrician! Yes, I LOVE Dr. T, he is the BEST pedi we have and I do enjoy showing off Grayson, BUT I really hate all the visits we have with them! At least every 2-3 weeks we are in there for something it seems! Well, he has been acting a little poopy lately and has been worrying me, but has not ran a fever! The ENT said there was a GOOD chance he will get more ear infection before the tubes so I just figured the fluid was infected so I took him in! His coughing has become more of a wet cough and he was starting to have a more labored wheezing cough so that was ALSO worrying me! Well, I have feared this diagnosis was coming because as a child I also suffered from it and I swear he has had it for a while but it has been undiagnosed! Well, we have now been diagnosed with ASTHMA! Not the end of the world but will prove the need for some changes! He is currently suffering Bronchial Spasms, and thus why he is coughing and wheezing. He is doing it essentially cause he can't breathe! That SCARES ME!!!! But I know that He WILL be ok! Grayson has now started his first and hopefully last for a while round of STERIODS and will be doing breathing treatments for the next 7 days and then we will reassess how he is doing and go from there! I hate that he is having to suffer through this and I really hope some of the side effects from the steroids will pass him, but he is a strong boy!
Well I just wanted to up-date yall!
I am so sorry that you both are dealing with this! But, you are right- he is a strong boy, and will be FINE!! You are doing a great job, Momma! Keep it up!
