Daddy took me to the doctor.  I don't have strep throat, which is a good thing  I have an upper respiratory problem.  They thought about putting me back on breathing treatments but decided on inhalers instead.  I must use the inhaler every for hours through Saturday.  I will take one to the nurse when I go back to school which they think will be Thursday.

The doctor listened to my chest and immediately said I was wheezing and asked if I had this before, which I have had.  I did lots of coughing and wheezing at the doctor's office.  The doctor said there is something in the air and it has caused a lot of this stuff.  He said I need to stay inside and rest for a couple of days.

 I weighted 57 pounds and my height was 53 or 54 inches at the doctor's office. 

I can't go to baseball practice for the rest of the week.  I need to eat more protein, veggies, and fruit. That means less cereal, my first choice of what I want to eat.  Kids my age doing sports need to eat right and get plenty of sleep.

There is only one inhaler but two things I breathe into every four hours.  I will have to take the one inhaler back and forth to school on Thursday and Friday.  The doctor gave us a note from the doctor giving the nurse permission to administer medicines.  I don't have to take any other medicines.

I told Mimz I wanted a meatball sandwich from Subway so after she finished her work at the hospital she brought me one.  Daddy and I played baseball on the Play Station.  In the afternoon, I had a horrible cough and my eyes are very tired looking and droopy.  I slept for three hours this afternoon.

I wanted Mommy to come see me after she got off work.  She did.  She left to go to Open House at school which was from 6 to 6:50pm, but the traffic was horrible on Kuykendahl and she didn't get there in time.

About 9pm my fever was back.  Daddy gave me some Tylenol.  Daddy woke me up during the night so I could do the inhaler every four hours.
