Lots of Experience doesn’t make Asthma easy
As I listened to Kyle cough away last night – counting the time between coughs – I had to reflect on the fact that even with all the experience we have with dealing with Asthma emergencies with children, it’s never … Continue reading
I Lost my Puppy
As a kid growing up, I had a lot of pets. I think I can remember something like 5 dogs, dozens of cats, and various birds, hamsters, fish. I would mourn when they “disappeared” but we were never without furry … Continue reading
When you can’t breathe…nothing else matters…
I’ve been holding back on writing about Kyle’s recent asthma attack mainly because it was still just a little too fresh… Not to say that his past attacks have been “expected” but this one really took us by surprise. It … Continue reading
Family Update 2 – Casey
To follow up (finally) on the post from October 12th, Casey responded to the medication REALLY well. We’ve done a heck of a lot of research on dogs and herniated discs and what can be done to treat them (outside … Continue reading

Sad Little Tyke – Another Hospital Trip
It happened again. Wed overnight Kyle had been coughing quite a bit. Charlize was, too, so I thought it was everyone fighting off the same cold again. In the morning, he wasn’t wheezing but to play it safe I gave … Continue reading
Midnight… (or 2am…) one more night without sleeping…
well, here’s a story I never expected to write… Picked up the kids today at the usual time to find out that Kyle hadn’t been doing too well. Seems he woke up from his nap with a really high fever … Continue reading
