We've managed to avoid the nebulizer for almost a year - but Colin had a major asthma attack today that had us in the doctor's office. He's going to start taking preventive meds, instead of just rescue meds. Right now, he'll be taking 5 days of steroids & nebulizer treatments every 4 hours. The doctor initially thought he'd have to be hospitalized, but thankfully the treatments seem to be doing the trick.
He's such an amazingly good sport about it all. The doctor kept exclaiming what a wonderful kid he was, and how it was so great that even though he was in serious respiratory distress, he was still charming and polite. He was flirting with the nurse, laughing with the doc, and struggling to breathe all at the same time!He was excited about Christmas, but his brother woke him up much earlier than he would have woken on his own.
Colin received the latest Faith Hill CD for Christmas. Can you tell how much he loves her? LOL
Colin & Nate chose to leave Santa a hard boiled egg (he needs protein for energy, you know!), carrots for the reindeer, and Daddy talked them into leaving a Coke instead of the hot tea with milk they wanted to leave. Colin was a very tired boy by the time we put out the snack!
Christmas Eve, 2005. At least 3 of us look nice. We took a bunch of shots, this was the best.
