kid, you take my breath away

unfortunately, the same happens for you.

after a rough couple of days
with a fever of 103.7 and a horrible cough
i took ryks to the doctor.

ryker was diagnosed with asthma and
must have suffered a severe attack
earlier this week.

ryks has had several asthma-like attacks
and the doctor told me he will have asthma
but they couldn't diagnose it until
ryker turned two years old.

however, after having so many severe
asthma attacks over just a couple months,
the doctor decided it was time to now
acknowledge ryker has asthma so we can
begin managing his condition.

ryker is now on a series of
steroids and inhalant treatments.
he seems to be doing much better.

next week we meet with the doctor
to develop ryker's asthma management plan
and asthma-attack protocol.

while dealing with ashtma
will be a challenge,
i am happy to have a doctor
who is so proactive in helping us
get ryker's asthma under control.
plus, with all the people in our
families who have asthma,
ryker is going to have the
system support he needs!
