Jared's Pulminologist appointment

Brandon and I took Jared to the Pulminologist today ( March 24,2011), his peditrician was concerned with his persistant weezing and coughing. Jared got an X-ray done that confirmed his hyper expanded lungs. Along with other symptoms the respitory therapist and the specialist believe he does have asthma and severe allergies. Jared is taking Advent twice a day, Zyrtec twice a day and Nasonex twice a day. If Jared has an asthma attack he has a rescue inhaler ( albuterol) that he has to use every 20 minutes until he is better( if he uses it for more then 2 hours he is to go to the emergency room) he also is supposed to use it at school 20 minutes prior to going to PE or recess. Jared goes back to the Pulminologist in 6 weeks, if he isnt doing better then he will be tested for Cystic Fibrosis and cancer along with other testing for other diagnosis. I know that Jared will be ok and that is it probably just allergies and asthma but I still cant help to wonder if there is something seriously wrong with him or if he has been mis-diagnosed. I have a friend whose 18 month old was diagnosed with asthma at 6 months old when it was actually cancer in the asofigus. I really hope Jared isn't sick like that:)I will continue to pray for Jared and Pray that is it just asthma. Here are some pictures of our trip to the Pulminologist.

By they way, in the picture of Jared and I dont mind my husband flipping the camera off
