Emmett's first day of school



























Today was Emmett's big day! He started the 4 year old "upstairs" class at Presbyterian Nursery School. And, big news....NO TEARS! So hard for me to believe after crying every morning for 6 weeks last year, he's changed that much!!! He has one of his teachers from last year (whom he loved) and one of Owen's old teachers and that may have helped. But for whatever reason, he did GREAT! And, I had a whole 21 minutes to myself, before I got a phone call from Owen's school nurse. His asthma has been acting up and even though I gave him a nebulizer treatment before he went to school at 8 this morning, he was in the nurse's office at 9:30 (retracting, coughing, and not doing well...her words) needing another treatment. So needless to say, I picked him up and after getting Emmett at 10:30 (his first day was only 1.5 hours) took Owen to see his asthma doc. Dx: ear infection (he never complained) and asthma flare-up. He's now being "nebbed" three-four times a day and is on prednisone. NO FUN!
