That's a heck of a long time, and unfortunately, about how long Henry's bugs

last, too. I'm going to try get him into the asthma doc today instead of his

regularly scheduled appointment Monday. I hope his office isn't overwhelmed

with flu people and he can squeeze Henry in.

Henry got his right away, so the fever is gone, but he still feels as lousy

as he did on day 1, with the cough and sinus crud.

fever,

This was Henry on Friday.

Henry was too tight to wheeze, so he's had to take all his asthma meds

around the clock using the spacer from his childhood days. I'm glad I always

Now imagine taking calculus, history, and computer programming final exams

while feeling like this. I feel so sorry for that poor kid! You, too, of

course, and all theothers out there with this creeping crud.

This is why Henry is telling me not to bother calling the asthma doc. He's

already taking all the meds he usually gets put on when sick, and about all

he could do right now is what, try different meds that didn't work in the

past? I'll see what he wants to do when the office opens at 10. I tried

calling yesterday afternoon to make the appointment but they closed up

before 4 pm.

At least I got the kid to eat some chicken soup yesterday afternoon.
