Sick Little Boy:Part II
Caleb woke up from a very short nap this afternoon wheezing and coughing. He sounded horrible! It was like he was gasping for breath, and he was very upset. I called the doctor's office, and a nurse called back within 2 minutes and said she would work us in this afternoon. So I fought Caleb into the car (he just wanted to stay in bed), and woke Alexa up. I also called Dave to meet us at the doctor and take Alexa home so I could focus on Caleb. He ended up getting a steroid shot (which he was completely still for) and a breathing treatment (which he hated and cried about). We got prescriptions for steroids and eye drops. We are also pushing fluids, and he is sleeping with a humidifier in his room. He sounds much better now. We go back to the doctor tomorrow for a checkup.

I keep those eye drops on hand for, um, emergencies. :)
And Drew is CONVINCED the humidifier makes things all better. Like magic.
