Brennan Asthma

On Sunday Annie left for North Carolina. Brennan had developed a cough so I kept him home from school on Monday. Around lunch I grabbed his inhaler refill from the pharmacy but it was a powder kind and we think it wasn't working right or something because he felt no better after 15 doses. He kept having more & more trouble breathing and eventually I got pretty worried. I called Annie and she had the great suggestion of calling Lindsay Z from next door. After about 20 seconds she assured us going to the ER was the right thing to do! He was wheezing badly & his pulse was 120.

Short story is he got 2 breathing treatments & some Prednisone. Dudey came over to be with Brian & Allison even though they were sleeping - weren't sure what the hospital would end up doing. Our NP was Linda Jennings! Everyone was friendly & helpful and they got him right into a room. Ben was the nurse who first evaluated him. Sandi gave him the nebulizer treatments. We had a follow-up on Tuesday w/ Kathy Galloway even though they originally said there was no room in the schedule - which is what they said Monday when I had tried to get him seen. She upped his Prednisone dosage and got us another inhaler for school. He returns today and I'm just hoping it goes smoothly.
