Asthma

The air quality continues to be bad which means asthma struggles for Junior.  Yesterday morning it got exceptionally bad so we were doing lots of treatments and had to give a dose of prednisone to get control.  We chatted with his Pulmonologist and will see her tomorrow to be sure we are at a good spot, going into the weekend, and don't need to make any adjustments.
Today has been better and now I just have a very tired guy.  Loved seeing a few smiles and even a tiny laugh when I told him he really didn't have to work this hard to avoid starting school.

This pic is from yesterday when things finally calmed down and he was able to rest.

 A little smile today.
 

This past Saturday Abby and a couple friends came by for a visit before they headed to Oregon for the week. Junior loved having company but wasn't pleased that they were then going out of town. 
 

The plan had been to start school this week but Junior's asthma made that impossible.  Everything is ready so hopefully by this coming Tuesday he will be feeling better and we can get started. 
Here are a couple space/sensory activities ready for him.  I had so much fun hunting down activities to use with our space unit and I know Junior is going to really like it.
