After arriving at the doctor's office John seemed to be getting worse - having an even harder time breathing and wheezing. After several nebulizer treatments and some medicine he was doing much better. The doctor said she didn't want to scare me but wanted me to realize the seriousness of it all - if his air passages close up all the way - death! Thanks - just what I needed to hear! So at the end of the day after the 25.00 co-pay and 85.00 in RX (Millipred by mouth - and Levalbuterol for the breathing treatments) it ended up being an expensive day. Was told the insurance should cover the cost of the nebulizer - so who knows what that may end up costing. Of course we and most everyone else would pay whatever they had for their child/loved one but just seems kinda pathetic that it's that expensive. We sure pay enough for insurance every month. Healthcare system is messed up - it's the insurance companies running the show when it should be the doctors who know what's best for the patient.

So the past week we have been doing medicine twice daily and the breathing treatments three times a day. John at first was glad to do them - now it's more of a struggle.
So we go back in for a follow-up appointment tomorrow. Possibly to do some allergy tests. So not sure what caused it but pretty sure it's some kind of allergen outdoors.
