Christmas is around the corner and I've been coughing for a month. CO has been coughing for 3 weeks. Cough medicine just wasn't doing it so we headed into the clinic this morning. After 4 hours, we we sent home for RX puffers. For the life of me...I can't get CO to inhale deeply. It took a long time for me to stop him from blowing into it. the doctor said that if we are still coughing next week to come back in again. I was thinking that coughing for the amount of time that I had was need for serious drugs...but no such luck. I struggle with the puffer as I have a coughing fit as soon as I breathe it in. CO 4 years 3 months and this is his first RX (that I know of)...I am not sure the puffers are going to do the trick but right now the only thing I want for Christmas is to stop coughing. My chest muscles hurt from the amount of coughing I've done.
I have tried to use the energy I have the last couple of weeks to do 'Christmas' stuff with the boys. But it is hard when all I want to do is to crawl back into bed.
Hopefully the puffers do thier trick and I can finish up the gifts for the neighbours with CO as well as his gifts for my inlaws.
J on the other hand is doing great. Especially if his days include anything 'hockey'
please pray for our health here
also that I get some solutions for some of CO's behaviours these days
