Pharmacy

This is a picture of the shelf in my bathroom these days. These items, I hate to say, have become necessities at our house.


My little Cannon always seems to have a "bug" hanging around. He is always congested, struggling to breathe and frustrated at night because he is so tired. I never thought of myself afraid of germs. but now the only thing I see are little bugs jumping from everyone and everything onto little Cannon. I hate it. I am getting so tired of him being exhausted just from trying to get sufficient air through his tiny nostrils. I'm tired of the breathing treatments with the Nebulizer. I'm tired of giving him Amoxicillin only to have him get sick again three days later. I'm tired of his lungs working so hard that it exhausts his whole body. I'm tired of not being able to DO anything for him to help him get better. Poor Bubba.

Is he still sick? I was hoping that he was getting a little better. I'm sure it is so frustrating when you just think he is doing better and he starts all over again with a cold. I truly wish I were there to help out.

when he is a little older you can use bee pollin. I use it on Evan constantly in the fall and winter. The first year of his diagnosis he was constantly sick and constantly on antibiotics. Last year (with the help of bee pollin) he was able to shake most of them himself.

Have the doctors show you how to assist him in coughing ... it helps bring up some of the phlegm.

Good Luck, we are right there with you!
