Ethan had another bad bout of incessant coughing followed up by a nap in which he was breathing 50 breaths a minute. We took him to the ER and they put him through the same stuff as November of last year: nebulizer, oral steroids, and a shot of steroids...this time in the thigh instead of the butt. Good thing I didn't promise him there wouldn't be a shot (the questions started as soon as we told him we were taking him to the hospital). It appears that his attacks are triggered either by horrible exposure to irritants (November 2008) or cold/flu symptoms so for now it looks like he doesn't need any daily treatment.
