mia - i have to hold hamish to get the ventolin into him. when you got the spacer did u buy the little mask attachment to go over his face? i hate pinning him down but its the only way to get it into him. plus the more he cries and screams the more that goes into his lungs! i feel horrible but i know it has to be done. plus i am used to it having to do it to the poor kids at work. no wonder they give you daggers after you do anything to them lol.
he had a temp again last night. i think the croup has now turned into bronchiolitis. but at least it should start to clear now. the ventolin helps which is good. the cleaner comes today so his room will get a good vacuum.
Oh Teresa - I really hope Hamish is on the mend now - poor little man! Yes, the spacer we got has a mask on it but he hates it. I didn't really think about him screaming and getting more into his lungs - makes sense! I guess I will just have to try the pinning down - going to have to toughen up, especially when it's for the greater good! I've started vacuuming and dusting his room on a daily basis - we shall see what the next few weeks bring!
