breathing treatment

A different kind of update:

So after Matthew coughing from Saturday on, and last night being awful with a wake up at 4:30 and him crying for near 20 minutes while coughing, I took him into the doctor today. We come home with a machine to do breathing treatments. He has to have 3 treatments every day for the next couple days. Oh my stars. In addition, he also has an antibiotic and a cough syrup to be taken daily....

We completed the first breathing treatment just a bit ago and oh my! He did SUCH a good job. We talked about the mask and how he was like a solider and he put on that mask and breathed in and out and was so dang good about it. I wanted to cry because he did so much better than the horror I'd concocted in my head as to how it was going to go. Jamie sat on one side of him and I on the other, on the couch and he just sat there. He got a little annoyed with it before it was finished, but I think it was a great first try!

My baby boy is so big.

Anyhow, please pray that he'll be well before our baby Manna comes. He has to be on the breathing treatments for at least three days and he has 10 days of meds to complete. Thank you for your prayers.
