Just a quick note to say ear tube surgery is cancelled again. He has another cold (yes, ANOTHER) and started coughing a bit last night. By 3:30 this morning, his breathing was sounding thick and he was coughing pretty hard. So we started nebulizers for the 4th time this year.
I called to cancel and the surgeon himself called me back. I think they are starting to wonder what's going on, but I don't know what we can do about it. He said they can do the surgery with a head cold, but with Robbie a head cold turns into wheezing almost every time.
I never thought I'd see the day I missed quarantine, but I think I'm officially there. Say some healing prayers for Robbie!

Spoke w/the pediatrician and she added pulmicort to his drug cocktail, and actually wants him to stay on it for the rest of the winter. Twice a day until he gets the tubes, then once a day for the duration of germ season.
She was sure to point out that he now holds the record for most tube reschedules. My little guy is setting records everywhere he goes.

My nephew was on pulmicort for an entire winter one year and my sister said it made a big difference for him. The good news is that he hasn't had to do that for a few years now.
Oh gosh, I am sorry that Robbie isn't feeling well and you had to reschedule again. :( I hope you are able to get the surgery for him soon so he can feel better.
Hope Robbie is feeling better soon.
Bummer! Man, I was hoping this would be the one. At least he's a record setter. Over achiever. :-)
Ugh...I'm sorry! I know you were wanting this to happen.
I am sending you healing vibes for the little guy and some patience, cause I know that I'd be frustrated, myself...
Oh man! Bree is on pulmicort inhaler two times a day for the same reasons. Helps to keep her lungs strong. ((HUG)) my friend.
I'm so sorry Trish. That really sucks.
