The cold season is going full force at our house. James got his first cold this week and it started off pretty bad. After school on Friday he was breathing pretty hard and was much worse after his nap. Luckily we've been able to get it under control with frequent nebulizers and nose-sucking and snuggling. I'm nervous for this winter for James. He's been quite well since last January when he had his fundoplication surgery to help with his reflux. However, at the same time we switched the boys to a small in home daycare and since we moved to Fargo we've had a nanny coming into our home. Now with James being in school I'm sure he'll be exposed to more illnesses and such. Hopefully we'll be able to avoid any major instances of respiratory distress. We'll definately be be staying on top of things with hime by giving him frequent nebulizer treatments, along with 2 other asthma medications but in addition we'll be sure to be washing our hands often, avoiding people who are smoking, and possibly trying to keep the kids out of stores with lots of people.
