Health Update...


Okay, so as most of you know, we found out on Friday that Hayden has asthma as well as allergies. Nothing unmanagable, but still...very sad that our baby has to suffer thru all of this. He's dealing like a champ though, and we're SO proud of him!!! Every day he has to take breathing treatments from a nebulizer-at least twice. The breathing treatments help tremendously with his wheezing, and as much as it breaks our hearts to see our little man with that mask on his face, we know that it's the best thing for him. Along with the nebulizer, Dr. Morris also prescribed some allergy meds and they seem to be helping with the never-ending faucet attached to his face...aka his runny nose. He still sounds very horse, which we're assuming is caused by the drainage down his throat and his cough (also caused by the drainage), so even listening to him talk is heart wrenching. On the flip side-I think he's starting to improve. He seems to have more energy and the length between breathing treatments is increasing. I called his pediatrician today to update her, and am still waiting to hear something back. I will be sure to keep you all posted as we learn more. Thanks for all of your prayers and well wishes. Hayden is a very lucky little boy to be loved by so many people!!!

Oh, poor thing. I didn't know how serious things were. What a trooper he is...and you too! It is so hard to watch your baby suffer. I do hope the meds help, and quickly.
