Welcome!

This blogging is all new to me. I'm hoping other "special needs" parents might find comfort in knowing they are not alone. Also, I think it is important for me to document my son's accomplishments, struggles, not to mention mine as well.

And so it continues

Colin has been having some asthma issues and this cough that won't go away. Over the weekend it got much worse, to the point that he was vomiting because he was coughing so hard. So, I took him to Urgent Care. They took an x-ray of his lungs to see if it was pneumonia (it was not). But, in the meantime, they found a spot on his lung. Sigh.

Most people would freak out. "But, not I" says the mother hen who has been through this a gazillion times. Ok, not a gazillion but enough to know not to panic. In fact, these kind of things have come to be more of a nuisance because most of the time it turns out to be nothing. So, it's just another appointment we have to schedule. Which means another day I have to take off of work and another day he misses school.

Fortunately, the urgent care doctor called today to explain what the concern was. Basically, there is a little spot that they are not sure of. They think it could just be due to an infection and want another x-ray in a couple of weeks, after this virus (or whatever he has) has cleared up. Hopefully, it will be gone by then. Again, just another nuisance, another appointment, more time.

And so it continues.......
