Will and I went for another visit to the doctor this evening. He started to show signs of a cold a few days ago and with his third tooth (finally) coming in we thought maybe it was teething. Then yesterday we started to hear a tiny bit of wheezing again. If you remember in February he was in for wheezing, given a breathing treatment and then Albuterol. Same today. The doctor said it was a very slight wheeze, but it was there. She again gave him the treatment in the office, he again screamed the entire time, and is getting the Albuterol inhaler every four hours.
So I asked about asthma. She said yes, Will most likely has virus triggered asthma. Which means he should be fine at most times when he is healthy and usually this type goes away by age 6 if not before. It could be triggered later on when he gets more into sports and activities…but we will just need to wait and see. She said she sees no reason for any other medications at this time – like a preventative steroid.
On another note, Evan has been sleeping since 4:00pm. He woke up briefly showed because he was soaked with sweat and then told Jen he was going back to bed. He also has a slight fever. He got a great report from school today…we figure he was not feeling good and therefore did not have the energy to be crazy. 🙂 Cora was just crying in bed for about an hour, we gave her a little medicine too.
I need a couple healthy months….or weeks….or day!!
