It’s never dull here.
It would seem a friend of ours has given Peter and Myself nasty colds. Ben however seems to be fine. This is very draining on us as he’s getting cabin fever with all the rain and both parents dragging themselves around.
In all that Peter has been trying to figure out how he’s going to dose Ben with his asthma medication. Before this we were using liquid ventilin and now we’re onto the puffers. However, Ben looks up to Peter to show him what to be scared of and what not to be scared of. Ben was scared of the Airo-chamber attachment for his ventilin, but after Daddy put it on his face and made Darth Vadar sounds from it. It’s been easier to give him the doses. He even wants to be in control of the dosing, which Mommy won’t do.
We aren’t sure yet whether it’s true asthma or allergies making his breathing harder but it’s not a serious case thank heavens. I have really bad allergies. A doctor researching children of diabetics once told me that the allergies may be rough but it ment that I would never get type 1 diabeties. That my allerigies were caused by the gene that causes diabeties being turned off. Funny that if a gene is turned off it still effects you in different wayts.
My mother had type 1 diabeties and my husband Peter has type 1 diabeties too so we’re watching Ben for three things, diabeties, asthma, and allergies. Seems the last two may indicate that the diabetic gene is turned off. If that happens for 6 generations the diabeties will be bred out of the family and so we cross our fingers.
I made salmon cakes for dinner last night and surprise surprise Peter thought they were ok and Ben gobbled up his. Now to figure out how to hide some vegatables in them. lol.
We’ve almost figured out a way for Peter to give Ben his medication for his asthma. We’ll keep you posted on the progress.
