Bryan and I went to Tyler on Friday night and left the kids with Darrell in Longview.After we arrived in Tyler, Darrell noticed that Pete was looking a little sluggish, and was VERY short of breath (up to 55 breaths per minute). Pete's temperature also got up to 103. After talking with us, Darrell took Pete to the ER and Pete was given a breathing treatment just before we got there. By then, Pete had slowed down his rapid breathing quite a bit.
A similar episode happened a couple of months ago to Pete but thankfully we had a breathing machine in our possession.
Our Dr. thinks that Pete is having asthmatic attacks triggered by something. But what? The only correlation I know of is that he has been congested both times. The great news is that the breathing machine (a nebulizer containing albuterol) seems to help him get back to a normal breathing pattern and temperature.
We will go back to school tomorrow if all goes well. Pete is doing well as far as breathing is concerned and has not had a high temp. since leaving the ER. THANK GOODNESS!
God is Good!! I thank God that Pete is well and is a tough little guy. He has been so awesome through this. I have enjoyed spending lots of time with him lately (playing, cuddling, ect.)
We will probably get back in the regular swing of things tomorrow by going to school and resuming activities.
