On Friday I took Andrew to the doctor for another asthma checkup. He has a cough, and with it came the asthma symptoms again. The problem this time is that his inhaler didn't seem to be helping much, if at all. His doctor did a nebulizer treatment for him then checked him for pneumonia. He had to listen to him for quite a while because he though he heard it, but luckily when he coughed it went away and if it was pneumonia it wouldn't have gone away. Thankfully! He did however, have to take one dose of a steroid. This is because his airways were constricted/swollen already and then when the asthma hit, the airways got even smaller. His inhaler only cleared up the asthma attach so it really wasn't helping as much as he needed it to. The steroid made a huge difference - he slept through the night and hasn't even needed his inhaler!
As I was trying to get a picture of us, he snuck a piece of gum. Can you tell he loves it?
He's starting to get freckles! They're so cute!

To finish up, we had lunch at McDonalds. Andrew asked for an ice cream cone (which he's never done before) and asked to sit up at the high table since Mason wasn't with us.
