Better Breathing!

We had a much better night, last night!

Carter's breathing has leveled out quite a bit, although, he's still wheezing a little. The thing is I can't relax after a night like Saturday night. :) (I'm not complaining. I just can't). :) He went to bed last night and I kept going in to check on him...and to pull him out every couple of hours for a treatment. I gave him his last one at about 11:40 p.m. and went to bed but had a hard time falling asleep. It took me over an hour. :) I've got allergies right now too w/ a sore throat. So it makes me wonder if he's feeling the same thing... More than likely, I'm sure. :)

They're forecasting high 90's today and we have to go get more meds for him. I'm so reluctant to take him out in this heat and humidity (never mind the fact that I don't want to go out in it). ;) Maybe we'll have to put our suits on and jump in the lake on the way home. I may have to drive a little further too because our local Wal-Mart pharmacy doesn't carry the Albuterol he's been prescribed. (Last time we had to wait a few days for them to get it, which isn't an option today). There is another pharmacy in a nearby town that carries it.

I'm sitting here cringing as I'm watching the temps creeping past 90 already. ;) I would love to wait until later in the day, in keeping with my whole procrastination nature, but it's only suppose to be warmer as it nears supper time!

Edited to add: It's a lovely day, after all! I just got off the phone with our local W. pharmacy and they do have the prescription. I'm so glad because that saves us an extra 20 minutes of this humidity! :)

I just can't imagine what it's like to deal with all that. Poor baby. Don't forget to take care of yourself too.

Thank you! I can get pretty frazzled when he's like this but I'm trying to learn to step back and realize that it'll get better. As many times as this has happened, it always has. :)

I also think this humidity is maybe a good thing, in a way, it's forcing us to lay low for a few days. And that's never a bad thing.
