Well I didn't tell you guys this but thursday I took joshua to the doctor because he had a bad cough. She said it was the beginning of a cold so she gave us some cough syrup and antibiotics in case he got worse over the weekend. He did. Yesterday he wouldn't eat his cereal, but drank about 10 bottles! So I called the nurse on call and she said he was probably dehydrated and to give him pedialite and dilute his formula. Well his cough got worse and he began weezing and he threw up his antibiotics this morning. So we took him to the doc again. He has bronchulotus. She said 50% of kids with it grow up to have asthma. I guess it could be worse. But they are going to deliver a nebulizer to my house, and I have to put some medicine in it, and hold this hose in front his face while the machine turns the medicine to steam and he breathes it in. I have to do it every 4 hours during the day and every 6 hours at night. So I might not be able to go to school at all this week. He goes back on wednesday and hopefully he is better. But the poor thing looks like he is about to cough up a lung....I'm afraid he will choke! So I have to put a blanket under his head to raise it about 20 degrees and lay him on his side to sleep. This is the first time he has been sick and I caught his cold and I just want to cry. And i'm sure dewitt wouldnt give a dman even if he knew. Grrrrr. Sorry I just needed to vent. Everyone please pray for josh to get better soon!!!

Awwww!!! Poor baby!!! I use a nebuliser for my asthma, but I got that because my mom smoked while pregnant with me and a couple years after I was born. I hardly ever use the nebuliser anymore since regulare inhalors work fine for me. I will pray he gets better soon!!

Well, don't feel to bad. I had it and I don't have ashtma. You may also want to get a humidifier, it really helps. I feel bad now, I know just how he feels, believe me it is not fun at all, but it does get better.

Ohh and I wanted to post this in the thread about getting dewitt to sign over his rights. Why don't you just go to court and file for sole custody. All you have to do is tell the judge that he never checks on or goes to see josh, and he doesn't provide support for him. That way the judge will most likely give you sole custody, so he can never just come and take josh when he wants to and, the judge will more than likely order him to pay support, and if he doesn't pay up, he'll go off to jail.

Oh noooo!! Poor joshie!! He is probably miserable, cause I know I am when I get sick! And I am sorry you caught his cold too, but since you both are sick, you can still cuddle with him and kiss and love on him! Let us know how he is feeling!

Love,
megan

I think my mom smoked a little bit when she was pregnant with me or inhaled second hand smoke from my grandma and grandpa which is why I don't really have asmtha but if I run, I might as well have it. I don't have random attacks unless I do something strenous or run for even the shortest distance. In the summer it get's bad. At least it did last summer.

Did anyone catch the flu last winter? That was horrible!! I rocked for about an hour every night because of the pain and I was achy, I couldn't eat anything, I felt like I weighed 80 pounds. That was during a trip I took via plane to visit my dad, stepmom and little brother. Well I guess the flu combined with jet lag is what caused me to sleep for 15 straight hours. Then I ate a hamburger and had chocalate milk and my bf made me laugh and I ended up puking!! It was horrible!!

Alexander had bronch. But he had it so bad he had to be hospitalised (which I posted in a earlier post) so no worries. I'm glad he's getting better.

You guys they delievered the nebulizer last night. It seems to be helping but I have to put this oxygen mask like thing over his nose and mouth while he breathes it in....He looks so pathetic....I mean it's not as bad as it looks but it makes me want to cry! And my head feel like the size of a watermelon! I feel like crap! I might miss the whole first week of school! Ugh! Just what I need....To be a week behind in something that is going to be difficult enough......Sorry guys just needed to vent!
