On a whole separate note...Sam had to visit the pulmonologist this week. Since Sam was born, we have familiarized ourselves with lots of doctors and I myself have gotten to be on a first name basis with the client services ladies at my insurance! We have some docs who are friendly, kindhearted and generous with their time and answers. We have also had some who are arrogant, dim-witted and short with their time and answers. I got a mix of both when we visited the doc this week.
I had called to see what we needed to bring, ie. list of meds, records. Just the list of meds they said! When the doc comes in he starts with, "Why are you here?" with a puzzled look on his face when I say Sam has had a persistent cough. OK, he says! Then starts the questions, when did he get sick, when did he start meds, how long has he been on certain drugs? OK--this is why it would have been nice to have the records with me. Because now I look like an incompetent parent b/c I have no idea. The specifics long went out the window!
But in the end he seemed to warm up a little. He h including 2 different steroids and asthma as given Sam the diagnosis of Asthma. YUCK! But it could definitely be worse so we are not complaining. He is on a plethora of medsmeds and his reflux stuff! Poor guy!
He is smiling through it though as usual! Sorry to be long winded! Just thought I would give ya'll a taste of our daily lives...don't get me started on our insurance!

Asthma! Darn it! Are you having to use the nebulizer? Did they say it's something that he will grow out of? Logan had "asthma" as a baby, but she has mostly grown out of it. It still occasionally rears it's head during the winter after she's had a cold... but, it's better than having to do treatments EVERYday... By the way, he's so cute.. and HUGE! I remember the little guy as a little guy!
It is frightening how much he looks like Greg!
