Nebulize It

Thank goodness we don't have to use the nebulizer anymore. He fought it less than half the time but it still was no fun for anyone. I would try explaining to him that it was to make him feel better. We had to do it 4 times a day for 7 days. I started doing it only 3 times a day after his fever broke and all seemed swell. Basically what it does is administer albuterol in a mist form into the lungs to loosen the mucus that has built up in there which was causing the pneumonia and let the wee one breath more easily. 

When we weren't using it he loved to play with the mask and tubing.
He kept wanting to bite the tubing but since we don't own that machine Mike brought home some tubing that he had lying around (whaddyaknow?!) and it is one of his new favorite things to slap around:
This is the tubing that Mike brought home.
