Guest guest Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 Hi Cheryl, we probably have about the same snow totals as you do. I didn't go outside today because my stomach is still upset from having the stomach flu and I don't want to be sick for Christmas! I'm dreading going to work tomorrow at 8:30am but luckily it's only for a couple of hours. I hope that the roads aren't too bad. Sorry about your son. It's probably best to keep in home because breathing in that cold air isn't good for his lungs. Have you tried telling him that if he does the breathing treatments, he will feel better? You probably have, I can imagine how hard that would be to get him to do them when he doesn't want to.Take care and stay warm! JenSubject: Re: To Donna and Carolyn OT Cheryl/To: exercisevideos Date: Sunday, December 21, 2008, 9:32 PM We got a good 10" snowfall on Friday, and add that to what we already had on the ground, so we've got a total of over 12". Now today, it has been soooo windy that we've got almost a 3 ft snow drift on our deck. There was a path cleared for the dog to go out, but by dinner tonight that path was obliterated. Our sub hasn't been plowed and I'm thinking about not sending my kindergartener to school this Monday and Tuesday. He was out sick last Wed and Thurs (no school Fri) with mainly a really bad cough. He's got asthma and took him to the allergist because I couldn't get the cough under control and didn't want him to go into bronchitis or have to go on oral steroids. He had minor cold symptoms but mainly a horrible cough. I tried today without cough med and he's still got a little cough and still coughs at night with the cough med, and I just don't want him to get more germs and be sick for xmas. We had to increase the puffs on his regular inhaler because he is very non-compliant with doing breathing treatments, which would have really helped, but I actually have to sit and pinch his nose so he has to breathe thru his mouth to get the medicine in. So then he fights me and pulls the mouth piece out of his mouth so he really isn't breathing much of the meds in.

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Thanks, hope you are feeling better. My son is very difficult, was diagnosed with ADHD and oppositional defiance disorder, the 2 apparently go hand in hand. So I've given up trying to do breathing treatments with him because it is so frustrating and luckily his dr is very good. Part of the problem is the " taste " of some of the inhaled meds, so we've found 1 inhaler that he uses and doesn't fight me with. I was just out this morning snowblowing the drive and sidewalks and shoveling a path for the dog to go out off the deck. I'm dying to take a shower because I hate the smell of the fumes from stuff like snowblowers, does not mix well with supersensitive nose and asthma! > > > > > > > > > > We'll be moving to OH, it will be less than 3 hours away, but > > > much > > > > > more of a rural type setting than I'm used to (live in > > > > > northern 'burbs of Detroit). > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
