Lung Report
We just got back from the pulmonologist's. He is treating Grant for whooping cough. He said he is not sure if he has it, but he has some signs. The biggest being the coughing fits that Grant has where he can't seem to get air and eventually vomits. However, Grant is wheezing and that isn't typical of whooping cough. There is only a 2 week window to treat whooping cough before it gets really bad, so he said he'd rather be cautious and get Grant on medication now. The good news is Grant continues to be joyful and embrace life. The doctor did say no running around for now so we'll see how that goes over. We're thankful to have such great doctors who genuinely care about Grant.

Thanking God for the good doctors he has sent to you to care for Grant! I had to laugh when you said you will see how it goes with Grant not able to run around! That will be interesting indeed! Table games as a family are fun & movies & reading! Grant loves everything...like you said he embraces life ~ all of it! I will be praying for him & you! OX
Poor Grant! I hope that he's doing okay and you guys too. Norah had a cough like that a few weeks ago where she would throw up from coughing so hard. They thought it was croup for her, she also had the wheezing. I think we did 8 breathing treatments a day for a bit. Both London and Norah are like Grant and any little thing turns on the asthma/cough. Our nebulizer has gotten so much use this year! We miss you guys and hope to catch up soon!
