Update on the Pipes - UPDATE - Photo added

Those pipes would be Alex's, the future opera singer. He'll be 4 next month. We had a few bad nights of him waking up coughing and wheezing. Went to the doc yesterday where she gave him a breathing treatment with a nebulizer right there in the office, sent us home with the nebulizer machine and sent us off for a chest x-ray to rule out pneumonia. Lungs are clear - it's seasonal allergies which for some reason are causing him to have asthma, combined with an ear infection and what she thinks is the start of a sinus infection. So he's on antibiotics, breathing treatments, antihistamine, cough suppressant and decongestant. Gotta keep those lungs clear and healthy!

Here he is in the pediatrician's office doing the breathing treatment.

I hope your son feels better soon!

Thank you! He's doing much better. I debated about whether or not to post about it here but decided that since I do mention him a bit, and it is pretty much the biggest thing going on right now (yes more important than seeing or meeting any opera singer) that I would post about it. Thank you!

I'm so glad he's feeling better. He's such a cutie, Susan. Just think someday a young lady much like yourself might be ga-ga over his singing ability as well as the clothes on his back like you are about Nathan. oh...too funny.

Thanks Sharon! Oh I really don't want to think about him having girlfriends, let alone hoards of women going ga-ga over him! LOL!
But whatever makes him happy, makes me happy!
