Morning everyone! Thanks for your thoughts and prayers. He did fine through the night. He does still have the fever though. I called the doctor this morning and they didn't have any appointments until 3:15!

But I gave him some pain meds for the fever and some cough meds also. I do have a nebulizer for my middle son. We have everything here for it. Thank God we have not had to use it yet this year. It used to be an everyday rutine for Joseph. But he is 2 now, and seems to have gotten a little stronger. Now we only have to use it when he is sick. Hopefully Kobe just has something minor, and we can get some meds and be fine. But I definetly want to get his own emergency inhalers for home, and one to take to school. We were VERY lucky to have Josephs here. Otherwise this could have been much worse!

Good luck at the doctor today.

I hope the doctor will be able to diagnose your son and get him on the road to recovery.

I don't know about where you live but here in Florida we have had HIGH pollen for about 4 months straight now. We need a good rain. Everyone has been sick. Even those people that have NEVER had allergies before, are having them now!

The pollen seems to be pretty high here right now as well. Its all over the cars!

Ohhh...poor little guy! I'm glad he is doing better! That had to be a scare! Let us know what the dr says!

Oh my, I hope he's feeling better soon. Our son had asthma for years. It's under control now, but his young years were the worst. He had a Nebulizer here and at school. One thing I must share with you. If he's not a swimmer, try and get him to be one. Swimming opens the lungs, and really helps asthma. We put Robbie on a swim team, and by the 9th grade he was off all asthma meds, he was on so many of them. He swam for his High School Swim Team and is now a High School Swim & Water Polo Coach. His Doctor is the one who told us about swimming, and it works. I know a lot of kids from the School I worked at that had asthma, I told their moms, and it worked for them too. Hugs to your son.

Thank god that you heard him! I am glad that he is feeling better. At least you got an appointment, I have called the doctor's before over here and they have told me to just take him to an emergency room because there are no appointments for three days.

What is hard is that you never know what triggers these attacks. It could be the weather changes, smoke, or a number of other factors. That must have been so scarey for you. I hope that he gets over his fever soon. My little boy turns 4 at the end of the month, I know what you mean about these little guys.

heather_lathrop · 04-17-2006, 03:12 PM

thanks for your help and kind words everyone. We went to the doctor this afternoon. They gave him an inhaler of his own, and a antibiotic. I think it started as an allergy and just developed into a little infection, because he has a fever now. But he is doing good, taking all his meds!

The good thing is that neither my husband or I smoke. That makes me sad when people with children smoke in their homes or anywhere around children.
