How I Spent My Summer Vacation...

Our plans of spending a looooong Memorial Day weekend in Gulf Shores ended pretty quickly. We planned to drive in on Thursday night, and leave Monday afternoon. Wednesday, Chase's nasty cough turned into a cough+fever, so we made an appointment to have that checked out in Ruston. We planned to see the doctor, get an RX for what we thought was an ear infection, and be on our way to the beach. Yeah, right.

After a 3 hour doctors visit, which included 2 chest X-rays, 2 Albuterol nebulizer treatments, and an RSV test, we were told Chase's lungs were stretched and his bronchials weren't opening enough, and that he was wheezing. I'm still thankful it wasn't RSV or pnemonia!! He isn't contagious to adults, but the doctor said he might pass it to another small child or baby...and we knew his younger cousin would be in Gulf Shores. Didn't want to risk it...

Sooo...we stuck around Alexandria and used our vacation savings to do stuff around here. Got to see 2 movies in the theater, we ate out for lunch and dinner EVERY night, and went to the park/ice cream place/mall with Taylor and Chase a few different times. We ended up being glad we stayed...we got to REST and not drive 20+ hours with $4 gas!

Anywhoooo...enough yapping. Here's some pitiful pictures of my baby boy. These were taken today, which is his last day with the nebulizer. The first day or so was TORTURE! He screamed and wiggled out of our arms. Now-he laughs, watches tv, and hold it himself! LOL He is too funny...i'll be glad when the Albuterol hyperness gets out of his system... he is WILD on this stuff!


He's laughing behind the mask! LOL

He likes to share the goods...
