Worried about Gavin

November 20, 2011

Gavin has developed a really nasty cough. I don't know if it's asthma related or not. The immunologist told us when he gets like this we need to give him his rescue inhaler but it's not helping.

We have very little experience with asthma so I'm unfamiliar with it outside of what I dealt with as a paramedic.

The other concern that I have is, what if he's getting sick? What do you do for a child with no immune system of his own? I realize that this isn't anything new, but we know about it now so that changes everything.

All I could try to do now is borrow my parents car and take Gavin tovthe ER. However, that will freak him out pretty bad and it may not be necessary.  At the very least we will have to get him into the doctor in the morning. I'm just way to new to this whole asthma and immunodeficiency thing and want to have him seen, just to be on the safe side.
