Steroids

Well, at Evan's check up last Fri. they still heard wheezing so they increased his breathing treatments to 4 times a day (2 times pulmicort, 4 times albuterol) and added a liquid steroid to it. We are going back today for another check to see if we can cut any of this back or out. My little boy has been such a handful the past few weeks. I'm blaming the steroids but, whew. He gets very aggervated very easily and has had so many tantrams and lots and lots of whining. I really hope once he is over all of this that his temper will return to regular Evan temperment. Also, Evan has been potty trained for almost 2 years and I can't remember him ever, even in the beginning having accidents but since the steroids started on Sat. he has wet the bed twice and had one accident. Pray that we get a good report today. One of our fellow Brave Hearts has RSV and is in ICU here so, please say a prayer for Andre'.
Our house has had 12 showings now and one family came yesterday to see it for a second time. We are praying that all of this happen's in God's timing and that he will lead us when it is time.

We know all too well about the breathing treatments. Elijah has needed them every day, at least twice a day (sometimes more), since October. And the steroids are probably what is making Evan act differently. I hate steroids! Every time we have to give them to Elijah he turns into the Exorcist.

Praying for no further sickness for you guys and for lots of healthy days ahead!
