Took Matthew to see the pediatrician on Wednesday because he had a chest cold that he just couldn't shake. I figured it would be a quick in and out with the old "it's just a virus give it 5-7 days and he should be fine". Well the doc listened to his chest and heard some wheezing so she checked his oxygen levels (they were fine) and had us do a nebulizer treatment to see if his breathing got better. After 15 minutes of a screaming, crying freak out while I held his arms down and the mask on his face, she rechecked. His breathing was better and we got to come home with a snazzy new piece of equipment.
Twice a day Matthew sits with Daddy and his teddy bear and breathes into his mask to keep his lungs clear. At this point we don't know if it is just a chest cold or slight asthma or some springtime allergies but he is getting better about doing the treatments and his nasty cough is almost gone.
I know its hard to tell, but they are both smiling in this picture.

I feel your pain. In Malaysia we were doing his constantly with Hayden. Hoping now that we are back in dry Canada it will disappear! Good luck
