Not much new on the Perthes front... however....

I wish I could post something interesting and new about Simon and his Perthes. However.... we are so consumed with the weather change and how it's affected Simon's eczema and asthma, that the Perthes has taken a back seat (WAY back!!) He had a bad asthma attack 2 weeks ago and had to go on Prednisone.

The Prednisone kept his eczema (and asthma) under control, but once off that, the humidity and seasonal allergies seem to have sent thing south. Poor guy has little scratches all over his body from itching! We tried stopping his Zyrtec because we thought it might be causing his irritability. However we started it up again because his skin was getting so bad and today he does seem alittle better.

It's so easy to forget how these season changes affects his health! We haven't had these types of problems for several months (and I think we innocently think it's gone for good...). Hopefully in a few weeks things will settle down and we will skate through summer. Fall is always bad for him and his asthma.... so we are gearing up this year to increase his daily inhalers (at his doctors suggestion) to see if we can have a peaceful Fall this year. Stay tuned!
