Anyways, back to our office visit. Rowan's ear infections look much better and he hasn't run a fever for a few days. The new diagnosis- Pediatric Asthma. We are now trying the Singulair granules to see if that helps with his wheezing and to open up his airway a little more. He has to take it daily so hopefully I can be good about remembering. I'm really hoping that he will grow out of it. I know my nephew Kaden had asthma when he was young and eventually grew out of it. We go back in another 4 weeks to see if it is working. He will also get a flu shot at this time. Dr. Lei said there are 2 different flu shots out this year and he wants to give him one in 4 weeks, and then another one a month later, so we will probably do that at his 9-10 month well baby. I'd hate to have a sick baby all winter, so I'm all about the flu shots. We will continue to do albuterol treatments when Rowan really needs them. (Oh and Rowan isn't crawling yet, but he is soooo super close. I'll be sure to post when he takes off.)

HE is so adorable! I love his hair! Sorry about the sick thing, I wish I could help somehow!
Oh my goodness he is such a cute little boy!!!! I can't believe how sick your family has been - hopefully everyone will get over it soon!
I once read somewhere that if your baby is born cesarean they have a lot higher risk of developing asthma. So of course I am always worried about my boys getting it and was unnerved when they put Carson on the nebulizer. Oh well...some babies just don't come as nature intended...but it doesn't really matter because you love them the same.
Oh Tiffany I will pray your family gets better soon.
