Well, by Tuesday afternoon, Blake was audibily wheezing and complaining that he couldn't breath. The fever that was once low-grade was back and blazing hot. So at 2pm I called the doctor to see what he thought. In the back of my mind was the thought of pnemonia. The doctor finally called me back at 7:30pm and advised that I bring him to the E.R. So I did.
At the E.R. they took us right in and did a chest x-ray and gave Blake a breathing treatment. His wheezing stopped immediately and so did his coughing.
The doctor looked at his x-ray and saw no pnemonia but did see signs of asthma. I asked a million questions and am hoping and praying that she is right with her take on the situation. She thinks that this upper respitory virus has brought the asmtha on and that once he is over this virus, the asthma will go away.
Until then, we have this nifty inhaler for when he can't breathe again.
