Asthma

That's right.  Reilly officially has asthma.  We kinda figured since both David and Grandma have it.  I believe I put in my last post that Reilly'd had a cough for the last three months at least and had three fevers through that.  He's on antibiotics as well as a nebulizer bringing the grand total of prescriptions to 5.  Plus he's scheduled for allergy testing next week and I'm taking him for a chest xray tomorrow.  He did a breathing treatment at the doctor office and afterward there was a noticeable difference in the breathing.  I can't hear a wheeze but his doc can take one good listen and say "oh yeah, he's got it."  Sigh.  So now he's taking at least 3 meds a day plus the treatments as needed.  I posted a pic on facebook of all the medications he's got.  I've put the nebulizer next to his bed so that he can breathe easier when laying down.  It's a good spot for him to relax and watch a cartoon or play his v reader.  Glad we've got a plan on this whole mess.
