I finally took Abram to a REAL doctor last week. Every since February of this year, he has been coughing every night, all. night. long. Then he starts wheezing like crazy and has a hard time breathing. The wheezing has always started on a weekend or a holiday, so we have taken him to community care. They generally give him a steroid shot, and prescribe an allergy medicine - last time they prescribed breathing treatments and we had to buy a nebulizer, but they never really get to the bottom of the problem, and the coughing has continued. And Abram has seemed worn out every day.
The REAL doctor has give him some medicines for asthma and allergies, and Abram is all fixed up!
I liked this conversation that Abe had with the doctor:
Doctor: How old are you?
Abram: Three...But I will turn four in a few more months!
Doctor: When's your birthday?
Abram tells him.
Doctor: Wow! You're smart!!
Abram: (looking smug) I know...I know everything.
Doctor: (chuckling) So why are you so smart?
Abram: Because the kids (meaning his siblings) read to me!
Funny conversation. He is a smart kid. I am glad some meds are working for him.
