Cough

Both kids have had a cough that has lasted almost two weeks now. Alyssa seems to be getting better. She had 5 days of steroid and lots of breathing treatments and is now down to two a day. She still coughs some but I'm hoping by early next week we will be done with treatments.
Colin doesn't seem to be getting better as fast. He is done with his steroids, but it still at 3-5 breathing treatments a day. He still has a lot of wheezing and coughing. He has been on Singular which caused an allergic reaction and so now he is on Advair to help with the wheezing. Advair is a twice daily medicine that he will have to have daily for the next few months. I'm really hoping he turns the corner soon and is on the road to recovery. He has gone from having to get up in the middle of the night to do treatments to being able to go all night so I guess we are making some progress.
