This time of year is always a little rough on Brady's asthma. This past weekend made it very clear that "asthma" season is here for him. Daddy was out of town and the boys and I had so much fun each day, just enjoying each other's company and hanging out. In fact, Brady didn't have too much trouble with his breathing during the day. But every night Daddy was away, my poor little B had coughing episodes that lasted 1 1/2 - 2 hours each time. The inhaler, humidifier, warm beverages, and sleeping propped up weren't helping much at all. Now most kids at the age of 4 would get very upset at being so uncomfortable, and rightfully so....but not Brady. He just goes with the flow, taking his meds, sleeping in odd positions, and being moved from his bed to the couch, to Mommy's bed, and back to his own bed. I had to take this picture of my little man. He had been coughing so hard for quite a while and nothing was relieving him, so I brought him down to the couch to prop him up better. I layed him down, turned to get a blanket, and when I turned back around, he was out...sleeping like an angel. He is one tough cookie. Thankfully, his episodes seems to be improving a little bit. I am so proud of you and amazed by your strength, Brady. I love you!
