Well, after almost a year of daily breathing treatments he was off the meds for almost 18 months when he had another major attack of "asthma like symptoms" I was really hoping to never have to use the nebulizer again! On Sunday Wes was feeling poorly, but nothing major. He was coughing a bit and his chest sounded congested so I had Jon give him a treatment just in case. On Monday he was way worse. By the time we got to the DR at 9:10am, his blood oxygen levels were at 87 (i am told that this is bad) so they gave him a treatment with the nebulizer and measured him again, he was up to 92, but not high enough for the Dr so we had ANOTHER treatment and got his levels up to 97. Then we were sent home with 4 different meds, two oral and two inhalents. Over the next 24 hours we gave Wes 8 nebulizer treatments and 8 doses of oral medicine. Late Tuesday he finally seemed to be breathing easy. Thank goodness! He seems fine today but he has to have a treatment twice a day until his cough is completely gone. He is NOT HAPPY about the "machine" but he is dealing with it.
