Breathing

We had a doctor's appointment at CHEO with a specialist to see about Lukas' wheezing. The diagnosis is Asthma, specifically "Happy Wheezer".

Needless to say we were not surprised based on our family history and Luke's symptoms. The doctor prescribed an inhaler to take twice a day, keep him away from pet dander, smoking, and wood stoves, and clean up our house more as dust and dust mites can be problematic as well.

There is a good chance he will grow out of it and it does not seem to be bothering him too much yet. Poor guy.
