Breathing Treatment Blues

Good news: I'm finally feeling better after three weeks of being sick.
Bad news: Now, the boys are sick. Sage has a double ear infection. Kai has a single ear infection. They both have a respiratory virus. Kai is so bad that he has to have breathing treatments.

Kai's first breathing treatment was in the doctor's office this morning. Man, oh man was that rough! He screamed, cried, kicked, and squirmed his way through the 5 to 7 minutes of the process. I had to hold his arms down and the mask on his face. I wanted to cry right along with him because I felt so bad for him. Poor little guy! Fortunately, the breathing treatment did help. Unfortunately, Kai has to have treatments every 4 to 6 hours for the next week. Sounds like torture for all of us!

Update:Once we got home, the breathing treatments were MUCH easier. Thank goodness for the distraction of "Yo Gabba Gabba!" As long as his favorite tv show is on, Kai sits relatively still for his treatments. In fact, he must make it look like so much fun that Sage wants to do it too. Ha!
