Dinosaur or Fish or maybe an Elephant


Bennett has been coughing and runny nosing for some time now. I had gone back and forth thinking it was allergies or a cold or both. Today I looked at the calendar and saw that it has been going on for way too long. I am embarrassed to admit how long.......I cave it was at least 4 weeks. I took him in to the DR. and found out he has asthma. I am not sure why I am surprised. I have asthma. That's right I admit it. It is something that I have had for as long as I can remember and am really embarrassed about. I don't know why, I just always have been, like I can help it. They cannot officially diagnose him as asthmatic because he is too little but because I am we should assume he does and watch for it. They had a nebulizer brought to our house right away. After he got over the shear terror of it, it turned out to be pretty cute. No pictures of the before shot, it was too sad, abusive looking even. Now he does it a few times a day with out an incident and when he is done he asks for his "cheet", treat. We can't decide what it is supposed to be. I think a fish, but we tell him dinosaur because they are his favorite.

oh! that is so sad, I can only imagine how scary that would be! (I think it's whatever he wants it to be) Poor Bennett, please let me know if I can bring him a treat or something! What a boy!
