Medicine


Here is Mason getting his medicine. He has to use the breathing machine to receive the albuterol. He has had this nasty cold for about 6 weeks. He can't get rid of it and so it has caused him to have 4 ear infections and pink eye. So now he is on the machine to help clear up the cold. He has to receive it 4 times a day and it takes about 10 minutes to do. He does pretty good with it, as you can see he likes to hold it in his mouth. The last 5 minutes he usually starts to cry. He is a trooper.

He is so good to sit still for even 2 minutes. (Impossible if Macy had to do that). Your boys are too cute!!

Your boys look so cute in their chairs. You will have to take a picture of them playing with the train set once you set it up. Glad Mason is feeling better. It is always hard when te kids are sick!

I am so sorry to hear about Mason. That's got to stink. I thought a little runny nose for a couple days was bad. Looks like your boys got some fun stuff for Christmas. I love their little arm chairs. Very cute.

Oh girl hang in there!! Caleb was the EXACT same way...I can tell you stories & stories about the breathing machine. Every time he got a cold he had to be on albuterol. I remeber the sleepless nights of him up coughing & me not knowing if he was getting enough air.....but just think, this too shall pass...Caleb eventually grew out of it...now he has a strong immune system. Poor guy!

My little guy has to do the same thing. We used to use albuterol, but we switched to Xoponex. We like it better because it doesn't make his heart race or make him hyper or jittery as a side affect. Does albuterol do that to Mason?
