Tuesday night Liana and I both got home and Elle told us that Nick was having a hard time breathing. He was a sleep in our bed so we listened to him while he was sleeping. He was struggling to breathe and his breaths were very raspy. Nick has had problems like this before, however it is usually in cold weather. He woke up and we gave him some medicine that we have been given before. He started to say he needed to throw up and eventually did. Because of his breathing and throwing up he became up set which only made the problem worse. We decided to take him over to the emergency room at 11:00 p.m. When we got there they took him back; long story short they gave him a breathing treatment. In the past we have been told it was croup and have been given medicine for him to take. The doctor this time told us that it appears that Nick has asthma and after everything we were sent home with an inhaler that he can use when this happens. It is always a frightening experience when he has difficulty breathing and this time was no different. We were able to make it home by 3:00 in the morning and to bed by 3:30. Liana and I were both up a couple of hours later, Liana for work and me for football. Nick still doesn't sound good but we at least know what we are dealing with.
