Poor Preston

Preston has been coughing for the past few days and not sleeping well so today I took him to doctor. He was running a bit of a fever last night and neither of us got any sleep whatsoever. He missed school and I glad I kept him home. There is a viral infection going on with cough, runny nose and stuff but the doctor confirmed that isnt what he has. His allergies are acting up and since Preston is borderline asthma and has been since he was 1 year old the allergies symptoms are starting to settle into his chest. Each year he gets bronchiolitis and it takes about 3 weeks for him to recover. I am hoping that we caught it soon enough this year so he walked out of the doctors office with cough medicine with codeine, singulair for his allergies and a new inhaler.
2 1/2 hours later from the doctor and lots of $ spent on medicine he is home laying on the couch. It took so long at the doctor because he has been tested for asthma before and they wanted to test him again since he gets bronchiolitis so often so he had to do the breathing treatments as well as breathing test again. Poor little boy, sometimes I cant help wonder if my lung issues and the weak spots that I have that caused my lung to collapse have been passed on to him in the form of weak spots.
