Joshua can't catch a break

Joshua has been battling a cold for almost three weeks now and in the last several days he's developed a bad cough and wheezing. We took him to the doctor today and they are saying he has a cold/viral-induced asthma. They didn't call it "asthma" in their records but said anytime he gets sick, he's going to be prone to respiratory issues, especially since he has aspiration and reflux issues. Right now, he has to receive breathing treatments every four hours for the next week, and then they are recommending he take an inhaler twice a day for the remainder of the winter as a preventative measure.

The little guy is a real trooper and remains in good spirits.
