Asthma Attack
Ethan had a really bad asthma attack in the middle of the night last night. He ran into our room barking and crying that he couldn't breathe. It was so bad that even George was freaked out. We had to do two different emergency nebulizer meds back to back because the barking wouldn't stop even after the first round of breathing treatments. Even after the barking stopped, he was still wheezing. We had to do the same thing all over again early this morning. Scary. I took him to the asthma dr. today and she wants to rule out a sinus infection by having him get a CT scan on Friday (she assumes it was either allergies or a sinus infection that triggered the attack). And she prescribed him a higher dose of one of his meds, when I went to fill it-- it cost $740. Obviously I didn't get it filled. While I was there we talked about my reaction to my recent shot and she adjusted the amount of the concentration I am getting. My sinus infection has not cleared up, we think maybe because of all the pine tree pollen that is everywhere (our playground is coated yellow from it). So that was our day, prayers for Ethan are greatly appreciated.
