Hey ladies, just quickly while DH has gone to corowa. Pat came down with an asthma type virus (can't call it asthma even though the dr said it looks like it!) late yesterday afternoon after we arrived home from Euroa. He started wheezing and coughing and was generally unwell.I got some panadol into him and after a rough start finally went to bed about 12am.... at 5 Pat started screaming and didn't calm down until 6.30 when Dh got up for work. He went back to sleep for 20 mins and I quickly had a shower and dressed and fed the kids.Realised about 10 to 9 that Dh had taken my purse and Liz's bag with him to work , so put Pat in the pram and all 6 kids and I walked into town before school.
He slept most of the day, as I gave him another dose of panadol, but this afternoon he started to get distressed so i took him to the dr. who prescribed him ventolin through a nebuliser, prednisolone and unbeknownest to me he also had a ear infection, so he's on antibiotics as well.
Question to any of you ladies who have asthmatic children, How do you get a 17th month old to sit still so you can put the mask over his face?
