What A Wonderful Son

Here Noah is smiling for the camera, boogers and all! He is so sweet. He has had a yucky cold. We went today to follow up with his Doc, he has been wheezing for the last several months, on and off the inhaler, etc. While there she discovered he developed an ear infection in the past week. We would have never known, he is so mellow and happy all the time, even sick. I am of course freaked out about the wheezing thing. She has him on his inhaler qid now instead of prn. He hates it so much... plus his saline drop in his nose. He gets MAD. This has been going on since this summer, plus he does this weird thing when he is sleeping, like he is gasping for breath. I hope his brain isn't oxygen deprived, he doesn't need any setbacks with his ADD gene pool!! Anyway, I am trying not to be alarmist, I am personally a total hypochondriac and I don't want to impose my neurosis on him, BUT. Of course his doctor is somewhat of an alarmist herself. She wanted him to have an ultrasound on his testicles on what was simply a bruise.

So he will get his treatments for a week. I need to start documenting any sleep interruptions and possibly record his "episodes" for the doc to hear. In the meantime she is setting him up with an appointment at Stanford, which I am very pleased about, no hack valley docs. He will be seen by a pulmonary specialist, IF it needs to go that far. Let's hope this is all just chest congestion from his cold!!!

Noah and I will be in CT for Thanksgiving, and sadly daddy's 35th birthday. More later
