Johnny: Asthma :((

It's been an interesting day...Johnny had an asthma attack today! Very Scary! He was showing signs of a bad cold yesterday but when he woke up this morning I could tell something was wrong. He couldn't stay up for longer than an hour and kept collapsing in my arms if he would try to sit up! At about 8:30am it got worse, he was having a really hard time breathing and then threw up 2x!! When I called the doc the nurse got on the phone and said she could hear him weezing to bring him in asap! Luckily when we got there the doc monitored his stats and they were good so we didn't have to go to the hospital!! This is the second time in 2 months that something like this happened (last time nothing in comparison) so he officially diagnosed him with asthma! So, not only does he look exactly like a Steele he now has our health issues! Well, atleast my sister and dad!

Don't let the smile fool you most of the time he's ripping this away from his face screaming! He has to have this breathing treatment every 2-3hrs the next 2 days. We have a follow up appt with the doc tommorow when we'll talk more about the asthma. I have noticed since the last episode that he seems to get short of breathe even after crawling a lot so he said he may put him on something that would prevent asthma attacks?? I'll keep everyone posted! I wish he didn't have this but I know it could be a lot worse!!
