Yeah! We're in The Club!
Various friends and relatives talk about their "nebulizers" and having to "give their kids breathing treatments".
Yeah, well, us too. Charlie got us in.
Here's Paul and Sami the Seal.
We got the cute nebulizer.
Figuring out how it all works and such.
Our Mr. Bingley is rather sick.
He is taking four daily medicines
to remedy his recurrent ear infections, cough,
wheeziness, and snot overflow.
We do the nubulizer breathing treatments every four hours,
(see how cool that sounds)
nasal spray in the morning,
steroid at lunch,
and antibiotic at dinner.
This may be our initiation into the
My Kid Has Tubes Club.
What do apples ready to be carameled have to do with
The Nebulizer Club?
Well, we were up in the four o'clock hour this morning
with the aforementioned unwell child
to whom we then gave a breathing treatment
and since we were awake
we decided to caramel two dozen apples
for a homeschool gathering *much* later in the day.
The caramel unwrapping crew.
I love this picture.
See his little hand snatching a caramel.
Totally caught, buddy.
The caramel apples were delish.
Reuben dropped his first one in the grass.
And his second one in the gravel.
Next time we'll try sitting at the table and eating it.
Ha.
I greatly dislike giving medicine to my children.
I can't believe I'm giving Charlie four different ones.
Paul and I both have a feeling this will not easily be solved.
Three ear infections in two months.
Are the drugs just masking the source of the problem?
Does his former cleft lip have anything to do with this?
And the six daily breathing treatments
that got us in The Club?
Charlie cries and cries.
The directions say to "sit back and relax."
Charlie read that to mean
"flail about and fight with all your might."
The nurse said he'll get used to it.
I don't think Charlie got that memo.
Oh, but good news!
Miraculously self-un-impaled.
That's a relief.
Thanks for asking, Tricia.
