Nebulizer for Andy

We are trying a nebulizer for Andy. He is sometimes demonstrating trying to take extra breaths for about ten minutes. He does not exert himself, he doesn't move around much at all. He can't stand or get up. I brought him into the doctor to discuss the issue, and we are going to try a daily breathing treatment for a month. If things aren't better, he will see a pulmonologist next.

We are still having a trying time with Andy at home. He does well at school, and other agencies. That's what they tell us. He gets very bored here at home and melts down. Since it's been really hard on everyone, I am taking extra steps to have Andy looked after, so that we can do some activities without him.

I've also found an ABA center that offers weekend hours. We are waiting for someone to be available to start seeing Andy. This will work on his behaviors, and also provide us with more respite time.

We are building the new house right now, so soon we will have to find time to get it ready for move in. I'm trying to finish up nursing school for this year, and then I will get a school break.

The baby likes to play with Andy, so this has been great. They have to be watched carefully, but he is sometimes entertained by her for a short while.
