The one benefit to these twice daily pulmicort treatment sessions is that the evening one leaves Z man pooped. After the wailing and gnashing of teeth he gives up and crashes. I don't know if I'll be able to keep this up forever though. Right now I physically cannot do them without Kent helping out. One of us holds the kid down while the other administers the steroids. I think his very least favorite part of the harrowing ordeal is that we have to wipe his mouth out afterwards to prevent thrush. Luckily he has his blanket and tigger (he certainly wants nothing to do with his torturous parents) to console him in the aftermath.I shouldn't make it sound so terrible. I think/hope that he'll adjust to the sessions and eventually just submit peacefully. During tonight's treatment he remained calm for the entire length of Kent and me singing "Mr. Sun".

that doesnt sound fun at all. i have a couple serving a mission in russia actually they come home in like 2 weeks not sure which mission it is thow. the other day they sent an email about a lady they had meet ina place called sochi. she wrote down how she became a member of the church. she grew up in sibera her parents were members right before she could get baptised the goverment made so they couldnt practice our religion the held meetings in secret then in the early 90s missionaries were let back into russia and a friend of hers told trhis lady about them she found the missionaries and was baptised her father had always told her that the mormon church was the only true church. she then went to theclosest temple to her which was in sweden twice and was working on going a third time. when i read it i thought of you then couldnt really remember if ypu served in russia or not. i will have to post it or something it is a great story.
what in the world is mr sun?
"Mr. sun, sun, mr. mr. sun, please shine down on me." I am assuming that is the song. Does Annie's song "The sun will come out tomorrow" work anymore on him?
I like his spiderman jammies.
Poor kid, I guess since he has to do it for atleast 3 months he'll probably learn to deal, but that's still sad considering it's a long term solution for his asthma. I posted the recipe!
I haven't forgotten you guys, have been watching what you are doing just keep running out of time to comment.
Poor little Z, but hey at least the drugs will help, maybe get everything under control ready for the dreaded wintertime!
Over time he will realise how helpful the drugs are and will probably come to you when he needs them.
Clever little things these kids, soon cotton on to what happens and how good it makes them feel.
Have a great fall season and look forward to reading more about what you are doing.
Don't forget to check back with me in 2 weeks time for wedding pictures.
