An Elephant of sorts!!!

Kallen is really into Elephants these days, which is very fitting because we keep telling him he looks like one!!!

You see...Kallen woke up Monday morning, having a really hard time breathing. I wasn't too worried about it, but with the slight fever and cough, I thought I better take him in! Turns out He's got Bronchiolitis. Basically a viral form of Bronchitis! Anyways...as treatment, he's got a Nebulizer and has to have a breathing treatment 3 times a day! As you can imagine...it isn't the easiest thing we've ever had to do with him, but the "special treats" he gets for taking his "special medicine" helps him hang in there for the 15 minutes it takes!!! As much as he hates it...it's amazing to me that he sits there as stiff as a board not moving until I turn the machine off! Only a few more days buddy!


Blessings,

We are praying for him! So glad you took him in! We had to do the same thing with Andrew, but now've we've downgraded to just an inhaler. Hang in there, Kallen! You make a great elephant!!

Good thing you took him in.
It looks as though he keeps that thing on pretty good!
