I was not feeling great but that did not stop me from wanting to help PaPa wash the outside of the house.
At Dr. Lacour's office the waiting room was full of sick kids. We had a long wait, but I was a good boy as usual. I weighed 36 pounds, 3 ounces and was 40.5 inches tall. My temperature was 98.7, which is normal. Dr. Lacour examined my ears and said the infection was gone, my ears were clear. The current problem was totally unrelated to the ear infection. I have a slight case of bronchitis.
I was given a 15 minute breathing treatment. The strap that goes around my head kept pulling the mask up to close to my eyes, so we ended up taking the strap off and Barbara just held it in place. She had to come up with some quick ideas to keep me willing to keep the mask on. I was not scared of it, just didn't like it and wanted it off. But we managed to get most of the medicine into my lungs. Dr. Lacour said the treatment did help. He gave me three prescriptions: an antibiotic to take for 5 days, a steroid to help break up the gunk in my lungs, and a breathing treatment. I was a very well behaved patient.
I was also well behaved at the pharmacy. Barbara and I met PaPa and Grandma at Lowe's to get a new toilet and new cabinet for the half bathroom at the Tomball house.
At home I ate lunch and took my antibiotic easily. Later when it was time for me to take the other medicine I would not co-operate. After I ate KFC for dinner, Barbara managed to get just a little of the steroid into my mouth. I was crying big time and in just a minute I upchucked my medicine and dinner. (I think I have only thrown up two times before in my life.)
My temperature at home was normal all day. I was not my normal self but I still wanted to play. I would go a long time without coughing then I would have a coughing spell.
I took a long nap.
Mommy was going to work early tomorrow, and I was still sick, so I spent the night with Barbara. I stayed up later than normal but when I finally did go to sleep, I slept all night.
