Well.... today we had our Pre-Travel Meeting with the agency and the other family who is in our travel group. (us via telephone) It was scheduled for 5:00 est. I had (6 months earlier) scheduled my dentist appt. for 4:00 and after thinking about it thought I would be ok. Duh!
We are on Central time so a 5:00 Eastern means 4:00 Central. Argh! Reschedule!!
Not that I was going to make it to this meeting anyway. Alex awoke from his short nap wheezing - at 3:00. I wasn't sure at first so I got out the stethscope and checked and sure enough - there it was. And just for good measure, you could actually hear his wheezing without a steth! So I go to call my Pediatrician's office and realize today is their first day in their new office, don't know that number. It wasn' hard to figure out and got our nurse on the phone and she said bring him on in - so off we went. We were seen pretty quickly and the doc verified that he is indeed wheezing and he ordered a breathing treatment in the office. Alex did very well. After the treatment he checked him and he had cleared a lot. We got 3 prescriptions - 1 for our very own Nebulizer @ least for 30 days 2 for the medicine for the machine and 3 Liquid steroid.
I go to the Home Health store (at about 4:30) and get the neb machine, then over to the Pharmacy for the remainder.
Luckily, the agency only requires one parent to attend. I still got home for the last twenty minutes!!
Lots of information to digest and Visa applications to fill out etc. It surely isn't just getting on a plane. :)
It feels WONDERFUL to be in this phase of active participation vs. the WAITING!!! It is a blessing!!
Alex is WILD after his meds - lots of fun!! He seems to have responded to the treatment and will get another in 45 minutes in addition to his liquid steroid, which I don't think he really cared for. He is a great medicine taker so, he takes it anyway!! Yeah!
Picked up pictures of Ashley's Calendar Girl event and will hopefully post them in a couple of days.
