Our New Friend

This is Where Our Friend Sleeps
Mr. Penguin
All the Little Helpers
Tired Baby Boy

As Most of you might already know I had to take Jackson to the ER Monday night he could not catch his breath. This is the first time I have ever saw him GASP for Air. I had giving him some cough syrup, Motrin rubbed him down good in Vick's Vapor Rub, Turned his Vaporizer on, and sent him to bed because he had been coughing most of the day. I knew he was starting to get a cold so I always try to start treating symptoms early so maybe they don't get to bad sick. At 2am Jackson wakes up Crying this is very rare for him he usually wakes up plays flushes Potty's anything but cry. By the time I get awake enough to get in his room he is standing beside his bed in tears trying to breath, I try to hold him calm him down he screams I try to give him food and Drink he screams so after I sit down turn on the TV (chuggington) to try to calm him and it does not help I talk to Keith and Plan a trip out to the ER. We walk in the door the nurse takes him straight back to a room saying he has pneumonia, so they do test and more test and X rays, Finally after getting admitted to the hospital and staying overnight, getting breathing treatments every 2 hours we get the news. No pneumonia. That's GREAT. Not so Great is that when he was 11 months old he had a severe case of RSV (See post from Feb 18 2009.) His Doctor is now telling us that The Past RSV has had an affect on his Lungs and Airways so anytime he gets just a simple cough runny nose it turns in to so much more because of the problems he has breathing caused by the RSV. This Explains our PAST 4 hospital stays.

So we have been sent home with a Nebulizer and Meds to take twice a day for the next 6-12 months this is supposed to be preventative in case a cold comes along it will not take him down so hard and so fast. After around a year on the Breathing treatments the Doctor wants to test him for ASTHMA (he is not old enough yet) she says he is showing all the signs. So wish us luck with our little penguin friend.

Tomatoes

So far we have had pretty good luck with our tomatoes they are very tasty I guess because we done all the work ourselves. We planted 4 plants all 4 plants are a different type just so we good figure out what we liked best so far the biggest prettiest Tomatoes come from our Better Boy plant. And Yes I fried the two little Okras just to see how they would turn out we could not wait for a whole mess, they were good as well I have also fried some green tomatoes and squash. They were good but no one fries Squash like my mother hers taste almost like potato chips so lite crispy and salty.

Happy Fathers Day

Wishing two very important men in my life a wonderful Fathers Day. First My Daddy he is so special to me and my family in so many ways. Also My Husband Keith Where would I be without him. I Love you both with all my heart!!

My Little Garden

This year Keith and I decide to try and grow our on tomatoes so far it seems to be working out pretty good I water them pretty often and I have dusted them with sevens dust, we have had 3 ripe ones and a few banana peppers. We also have okra in bloom and cucumbers, the watermelon is way behind but hopefully it will produce we have a small little box in the back yard where the kids pool used to be, it KILLED the grass and we have put sand in it, you name it but its hard to get the grass to grow back so that's where our garden went.
