Thank goodness they are such good sports about all the medicine and things that go along with being sick. They've had a nebulizer since they were less than 6 months old, and all the prevacid for their reflux (they were on it from 10 and 15 days old to almost a year) taught them how to swallow syringe-full doses of nasty stuff without gagging.
I took this picture with my phone at the doctor's office the other day. They were on their *second* neb treatment (O2 levels weren't high enough after the first one). What little troopers!
Funny sidenote: When they were done they asked to get down off the table, and then both ran to the door of the exam room (the nurse told us to open it when they were finished to signal to the doctor it was time to come back in). They both stood at the door peeking out into the hall calling "Doctor! Where are you?!? Doctor!!"
That sounds like absolute no fun, but the picture completely distracts me from my sympathy and commiseration as I need to know how you got them to be such good little neb users! Our 13-month-old has been fighting them several times a day for more of his life than he hasn't. Any great tips? Even tried adding tv, but nope, it's just a chase game trying to keep the dang mask on his face.
