52 Blessings: Weeks 1 & 2

Averill and I are participating in 52 blessings this year. This is in lieu of the 365 days that we attempted last year and made it about 5 days; actually Alec did a much better job with it than we did. In any case, we are doing the 52 blessings which in short is a photo a week of something that you are grateful for.

First week for us: the aforementioned expired epi pens. I know I mentioned that I was not quite ready for a party but none the less I am incredibly thankful that we just expired another set.

This week: Asmanex. Last winter at this time Alec had been on the nebulizer two times a day almost every day for months, we were in and out of the pediatrician almost once a week and had an ER visit in the middle of the night because he could not breathe. Since breathing issues tend to progressively get worse until the early teen years we were told that last winter would be a good indicator of our future winters. That is, until our super-smart pediatrician started Alec on Asmanex. So far this winter... NO nebulizer (or nebby-neb as Alec calls it), and no doctors visits since the 4-year check up. I know, I know, knock on wood now but so far this has really been our miracle drug.
