I can't hear any wheezing in Seb's chest this morning, so something is working. We have finished with the systemic steroids - thank goodness. He will still puff some steroids (to deal with inflammation) twice a day for 2 more days and then we hopefully will only be on his blue puffer (ventolin - open the airways) 4-6 times/day. However, we almost deinitely will be on some kind of prophylaxis, especially (this) winter. Seems a lot given that he wasn't on anything a week ago, but it's progress.
Also, Seb's ability to remember not to sniff but blow is creeping along. He is trying to count how many tissues he uses/day. Obviously, that's not scientific but it gets across the message that every tissue is less "guck" on his lungs.
But he is active and mostly happy. Perhaps a bit weepy now and again when he gets frustrated or disappointed. This afternoon is the Terry Fox run, which he is excited about. "We are going to finish the cross-Canada run for him, Mum". I'll let you know how it goes.
