Asthma....

This morning was off to a good start... all of my kids were still asleep at 7:00 am! But alas I was awake. I quickly started to finish a few projects that need to be done.

I was in the office working away, only to hear Jace struggle breathing. I thought maybe he was just coughing. He was asleep on the couch a few minutes earlier. So I got up to go check on him... he was not on the couch. I know he was not in the bathroom, I just walked past there. So off to find him. Of course he was curled up in a little ball in my bed, struggling to breathe.

I rolled him over and asked if he was okay... coughing and wheezing he said "no." I asked him if he could breathe okay and again... "no." So I quickly went and got his nebulizer and albuterol. After a few minutes of "Fishy Kisses" he is a little perkier.

I am very grateful that we have this little machine to help my little buddy breathe a little easier when he needs it.... of course an hour later he is a little hyper and playing (if that is what you call it) with his brother!
