Breathing Treatments!!!!

Well it is that time of year when Lynda's asthma decides to kick into high gear. The cool, wet and falling leaves set her asthma off. Her eczema has flared too. Just have to keep her healthy, so we can avoid the hospital.

Puffy Eyes

Last night Lynda slept in her brothers bed- he is off at AIT Training in the Army and I think she was missing him. With new sheets on the bed she had a reaction to the mattress. She woke up with puffy eyes and swollen face. So off we went to church with sunglasses. Benadryl and ice packs took care of it.

Have a great Sunday.

Too hot

Lynda got to hot at school today so her eczema has flared up. In the tub she went, then it was 2 tsp of benadryl, lotion, and wet pjs. I rocked her for about 10 minutes and she fell asleep.

Emergency Room

Last night I had to take Sean to the emergency room. He was having an allergic reaction to acorn squash. Redness and some swelling in the face, broke out in a sweat and then had diarrhea within 1 hour of eating acorn squash, he said that it felt like his throat was closing. It was very scary. He was able to come home. We went to church this morning and he has been sleeping ever since we got home.

Last week Sean and I were out of town and grandma and grandpa were taking care of the girls. Lynda's and Callie's lunches were put into the wrong lunch boxes. Lynda opened her lunch box and saw that the food was not safe for her. She called the lunch room supervisor over for help. The nurse drove Lynda home and grandma was able to fix Lynda a new lunch. We are so proud of Lynda and the school for paying attention. This could have been a tragic disaster. God was watching over Lynda while we were away.
