A New Routine

Ethan had his appointment with the pediatric pulmonologist this morning. I really liked the doctor and I'm so thankful we live in a city with the best specialists so close by. He gave him the diagnosis of asthma. He couldn't believe it took us almost 5 months to get in to see him. Ethan should have been on the medicines then! He has a maintenance inhaler that I will give him twice a day and then a "rescue" inhaler for when he has episodes of coughing and wheezing. I think it will take some time to get used to giving it to him....and I wish he wasn't so strong! But soon enough it will become just a part of our routine. Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers for Ethan. Here are some pictures of him and one the inhalers and the aerochamber I'll use to administer it. He's such a trooper!
He's a quick learner ;-)
