Bad habits

Buster has been running a fever since Wednesday night, and coughing like crazy. The temp got better with ibuprofen, then went back up when the ibu wore off, so we took a little trip to the doc Friday morning.

Doc: "So what's going on with Buster?"

Me: "He's been running fever since Wednesday night, complaining of a sore throat, and coughing like he's been smoking a pack a day. So has Darlin for that matter."

Buster: "Hey, I'M the smoker here!"

I swear, I have no idea where he comes up with this stuff! After laughing uncontrollably for a few minutes, I tried to pull it together enough for the doc to tell me it wasn't strep. Since Buster has asthma, and his lungs weren't clear, we came home with a z-pack prescription and instructions to rest. Just a $71 day. Pocket change.

My family has had the same thing on and off for most of the summer. Alex ended up having to do breathing treatments 3x a day while we were at the beach. He had an antibiotic and an oral steroid also. When Anna had it she just did a z-pack and cough syrup, but her asthma is not as bad as his. Hope all of you are well soon!!
