Parker's Doing Better
He's doing tons better, but we didn't give him a breathing treatment. We considered it, but since his breaths were fine, we opted not to. Technically, he is no longer considered asthmatic (and I still am not sure they should have said he was at his young age -- though I am grateful we have the nebulizer and meds, just in case), but we still are more cautious than we might have been otherwise. I'd read somewhere when trying to see a reason for this cough online that going straight to the breathing treatments when they are young may make them think it is the only thing that will help them, and making them dependent on it -- I don't necessarily think that would happen, but I did consider it before choosing whether or not to give him a treatment.
