Bryce and Asthma




So as most of you know... Bryce has been fighting infection after infection.... Almost 1 week ago I had to take him to the ER due to him weezing and having a rough time breathing.... So they put on a albuterol breathing treatment and said to have a follow up visit in one week... So today when he went in to our pediatrician, she diagnosed him with full asthma... The lung tissue damage from when he had RSV when he was a baby has given him a hard time during most season changes.... So I ahve been fighting insurances and getting supplies for him cause the treatments are twice aday for two week plus the albuterol treatments every 4 hours and after 2 weeks we can do 1 treatment plus albuterol as needed.... And a follow up in 1 month.... The doctor is worried that there was damage done to alot of his lungs at least on one side so the new treatment is to help prevent further damage or worse permanent damage. So today has been a rough day due to knoing that he is so young and having those treatments for a long period of time is no fun for him. Another obstacle that we are facing head on.... I thank the Lord that it is something we can get through and the strength he has given us through all these medical emergencies.... Keep prayers open for him as this is a new road for him and a long road at that...
