Caden's First Easter!






Caden was a great sport on Easter considering how sick he was feeling. He began to get a little cough on Tuesday and when we saw Dr. Bob on Thursday, he said his lungs sounded fine but to bring him back if he got a lot worse. He seemed to be okay until Sunday morning when he woke up with a terrible cough and trouble breathing because he was wheezing so much. We called the Doctor's office and Dr. Shaw told us to bring him in so he could listen to him so we went to the office all dressed up for Easter brunch! Dr. Shaw was awesome, of course, and told us we needed to treat Caden with the nebulizer until his cough was gone. Two days later it is already sounding much better! Caden didn't like the neb at first, but he has gotten much better at sitting still while we hold the mask against his face. We let him watch cartoons or we get Gracie and Rigger to come give him kisses which distracts him enough that he forgets about the neb. We have another appointment for Thursday when we'll find out how much longer we have to give Caden his treatments.

My favorite part of Easter was seeing what the Easter Bunny brought for Caden in his Easter basket :) He got 3 new books...all about bunnies...and a chocolate and peanut butter bunny that Mommy had to eat. Caden liked playing with the grass in the basket and he kept trying to put it in his mouth. For brunch we went to the Murtaugh's house. Caden didn't do much playing with the other kids, but it was still fun to see everyone and very impressive because Joe made all the food himself!
