Inhalers

Jackson has had to use his Albuterol inhaler (his asthma's been acting up and he's been coughing) a lot the last few weeks. So we put him back on his Flovent (preventative) inhaler. In all, he gets 4 puffs twice a day. And we have to wait a full minute between puffs. i.e. 3 minutes of hell for him. Did you know that it takes 2 grown adults to hold down a 13-month old who does NOT want a mask held over his face while he breathes in and out at least 6 times. I can do it on my own if I have to, but he usually doesn't get his full dosage if it's just me. Luckily this is only a fall/winter type thing. The doc said we can take him off of it in the spring. Unfortunately, "spring" comes much later in Japan than in Arkansas!
