Elliot


Isn't he cute! He loves to be like the bigger kids and do the "puter" too!!!

Anyway...last week we took Elliot back into the doctor. The antibiotics weren't working (go figure) and he was wheezing a lot. the doctor decided to put him on a nebulizer and have him breath in some steriod medicine to open his lungs up. He still has the abuterol for when he has an attack but we're using this new medicine until we go see the allergist. Yes...he's finally signed up to go see one. So we meet with the Allergist next week Tuesday the 28th, and we'll see if they can find some answers for us. In the meantime we'll continue to give him these breathing treatments until we go. The first time we did it he just screamed...the next time(& every time since)..he just sits there...some times he even points and grunts for it. I think it actually is making him feel better. He leans right into it and just breathes it right in! Scarey...but good if its working. At least he's not coughing so bad all night and not wheezing any more!! So manybe next week the allergist can help us know what medicines he can come off from and what might be our plan of action to keep him from getting more infection. Thanks again for all your thoughts and prayers. We've really appreciated everyone asking and praying for him.

This is his fishy!
