Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving! We all have so much to be thankful for. We have planned to host my family for Thanksgiving for about 2 months now. Well, Luke woke up sick Tuesday and wasn't any better by yesterday so Paul took him to the doctor. He has a virus. He has also had a chronic cough since he was a little baby. The doctor recommended him to have breathing treatments at home up to every 4 hours until Sunday. After that he will receive a daily breathing treatment for the next six months. This will hopefully prevent him from developing asthma. Paul had asthma as a child and our pediatrician has told us in the past it was highly likely that Luke would have it, too. We just hope these treatments will help him from being officially diagnosed. He does not like the treatments at all so it is difficult for Paul and I to give them, but we know it helps him so much.

My Mom graciously offered to have everyone come to her house in case Luke wasn't feeling any better by this afternoon. So, we were able to relax last night and spend time with Luke instead of running around cleaning and cooking. Thanks, Mom! Luke seems to be getting back to his old self today. He is also on a liquid steroid until Sunday. The doctor said he should definitely be feeling a lot better within 48 hours of the medicine. Hope everyone has a very Happy Thanksgiving!
