double l is making progress with his treatments. praise the Lord for this answered prayer. no, we do not have answers to what is causing the congestion and wheezing, but hopefully will next month (specialist appointment - mid-may). yesterday, we had a "check-in" with double l's doctor. she said he sounded "great"! especially knowing we have been outside for the past three days and windows in the house are wide open. thankfully, we were able to drop another treatment. hooray!!! we are down to morning and night. plus we are still using the singulair. thankfully I have not seen any side effects, which you know was a big fear for me. of course, I would love to say double l's tantrums and stubborn behavior is just because of the drug, but we all know its a side effect of being 21 months :) and I must admit, the tantrums are not frequent, but the stubborn behavior (especially during mealtime) is present ALOT! yes, he is still congested and yes we are wiping his nose all day long (clear mucus - no infection), but the wheezing as subsided and not even present most of the time. thank you for your continued prayers, emails of support and advice. all are welcomed and much appreciated.
onto more progress -- philly's weather. we are in the midst of a heat wave! um, it's april and temps have soared past 90 degrees since saturday! YIKES. As lora put it in a recent email, her house is like an oven. well, mine too. apparently back in 1896, they neglected to put in central a/c. and apparently since then, no (including us) has taken on the expense! so, like last summer, the summer before that and oh yes, the summer before that... I will vow to put in the central a/c. sure, we have window units, but I don't like to put them in until late-june when I know the heat won't let up for months. april is NOT the month for a/c window units. its the month for sun showers, cool breezes and windows wide open. progress or cooler weather is on the way, just need to get through today! I want spring if only for a few weeks.
so, yes -- I let double l run around the yard yesterday in his onesie and sneakers. the sight is hilarious to me and totally reminds me of one of my great uncles that use to mow the lawn in black slip-ons, white socks, shorts and white undershirt. you are right -- no way to make the connection, but somehow I do!!!
stay cool!

I thought of you last night, when I was having hot sweats so bad I was considering eating soy just in case I was going thru menopause!
I hope it cooled down for you too. My circa 1880 house was blazing this morning!
And I'm so happy to hear about double L!! I've been thinking of him too!
SO glad things are a little better! and the singulair is working at least a little! THat is great news!
I'm so glad to hear your little man is on the mend! The weather here is still crap!
Glad he is doing good and I love that carseat! So cute.
It's been hot here too and we have turned on our AC. That is definitely one for the record books for us. I wish I could run around like double I...just kidding. I would be scary sight. LOL!
CUTE pictures!!!! It has been HOT here, too!
I am glad he is feeling better...
I'm glad he is making progress..poor little guy. I don't know if it's allergies but I always thought my sons Spring allergies made him more emotional. Like you said though, he is almost 2, that could have a lot to do with it. (smiling)
