I think I can, I think I can

Jonah is still sick. I know thats not too surprising, it seems like he is always sick. Poor guy. So I took him to our new pediatrician, who I loved, and she really thinks he has asthma even though it's "too early in life" to tell. It makes sense though. He's perfectly healthy every summer but as soon as the cold hits he gets sick and can't breathe. Plus it definitely runs in our family. It's interesting to me that non of the other doctors considered it really, but he definitely had a lot more going on other than asthma!

So the cure for this? Oh heaven help me!!!!! During the winter months, Jonah will get Three breathing treatments of Pulmocort a day, (pulmocort is a preventative steroid) and while he is sick: Three albuterol treatments a day on top of the Pulmocort!! So as of right now, he gets SIX breathing treatments a day!!!!!! If I didn't have anxiety, I do now. A breathing treatment for Jonah is like hell and back. Really, it's that horrible.

I truly feel like my prayers have been answered though. Since his appointment yesterday, I prayed that I would have the stength to do this and that Jonah would learn to be okay with the treatments every day. I asked Zachary to bring home a mouth piece for our nebulizer, Jonah has been using the mask, and I had Zach help me with first treatment this morning using the mouth piece.

To our astonishment, Jonah loved it! We let him play with it and told him it was like a whistle and all day long he has been asking to use the nebulizer! It really is A Miracle! I was feeling so scared and overwhelmed all day with all his health problems going on (this is only one part of it) and today I am positive and hopeful for Jonah. I'm so grateful. I know our father in heaven truly does know us individually. I know that as long as we are doing all we can and truly put our trust in him, he will be there to help carry us through our trials and give us the strength we need. As little as this problem might be to some, I have never felt more relieved and blessed!
