To Make a very long story short we had Logan to the E.R. on Sunday for respiratory distress. He was wheezing and working very hard to breathe. They are unsure if this is caused by a virus or if this is the onset of asthma. For those of you that don't know, Logan suffers from food allergies and asthma plays right along with that. Most people that have food allergies do have or will develop asthma.
We were in the e.r. room getting breathing treatments, being given steroids and having x-rays done of his chest. The x-ray technicians were packing up their equipment after taking pictures of Logan's chest when Logan in his raspy-wheezy voice pleaded out to them saying "help me, please help me!" It was the sweetest/ most pitiful thing to hear coming out of a 27 month old's mouth! As my mom put it, "It must have melted their hearts," because the men came back in with a handful of stickers for Logan to play with.
After about 5+ hours in the e.r we were released!!!!!!! YEA! It was a very long night and still have several days of nebulizer treatments here at home to do, but we are thankful that they didn't admit Logan for overnight observation/ treatment. We have a follow up appt today with his pediatrician and hopefully we will be able to get more answers and help our little guy get better. A BIG thanks to Nana who came along with us to the e.r. (Chris stayed home with Luke), to Linda our respiratory therapist, to Dr. Leisey who took very good care of Logan and to all of the others who helped our little boy breathe better!
Chris and I pray that this is a virus and a once and done deal. We hope and pray that this is not the onset of a life with asthma for Logan.
