Ricky

Ricky was doing fine yesterday and went to school. I was almost to work, about 9:00, when I got a call that he wasn't feeling well. He said it felt like a bubble was in his chest, and he was very, very tired.

So he went to sleep and I went to get him.

I took Ricky to the pediatrician and his lungs apparently sounded fine. The doctor prescribed some prednisone but meanwhile I had been in touch with the CF nurse and I waited to hear from her to find out what to do. There was a possibility of Ricky going up to see the CF doc.

Well, we never heard from the CF nurse. But Ricky was feeling a bit better so we went on with our day.

He did have a dizzy spell as we were getting to the psychiatrist appointment that he had at 1:30 so I brought him in there in a wheelchair. I kind of vented at the psychiatrist about everything that has been going on with the dizzy spells and all, and he was very sympathetic.

Ricky's appetite has been much decreased, and in fact according to the scale at the pediatrician's office he has lost weight. :( Gotta work on that.

Today he went to school after a full night's sleep and seemed to be doing okay. Yay!
