My Poor boy!

We've found out recently that Trevor has cold or allergy induced asthma! That means anytime he even gets the slightest cold or allergy starts bugging him his asthma kicks in! He coughs so hard sometimes he throws up and just cries because his poor throat is just raw. The last 2 colds have caused him to get pneumonia! Well it started again on Fri. He got a fever and really green runny nose. This continued over the weekend and his coughing got horrible and so deep. You just cringe when he coughs because you can imagine how bad it hurts him. I took him to the Dr. last night and turns out he has pneumonia, a double ear infection and his oxygen levels were around 88-92 when they should be at 99. She was very concerned and gave him a dose of a steroid Prednisone immediately and gave me another to give him this morning, along with an antibiotic plus his 2 normal breathing treatments we do here at home. She made another appt. for today so we will see the Dr at 3:30 and they want to check on everything again. Along with that since it gets so bad and continues to happen, they are sending us to an Allergy & Pulmonary Specialist next week. My poor boy is such a trooper, she even said she never would have thought he was that sick with how he was acting and smiling. I guess he has a high pain tolerance like his mommy :)

Think good thoughts for him please, hoping the testing they have to do isn't too bad for him at the specialist!! Also hoping his oxygen levels have gone up since last night.
