Ben's Inhaler

All pictures taken with Pentax FA 50 f/1.4

I am starting a new blog dedicated to my two boys. I have been troubled all week deciding if I want to upload pictures that I normally don't want to talk about. I make the decision to post some of Ben's pictures while taking his daily preventive medicine for his asthma problems. Ever since his first visit to Emergency Room around the age of 7 months old, his asthma attacks have sent us to many late night visits to ER and doctor's office. He is fine this week and all pictures are taken while he is doing well.

I still remember my last post where I mention about 'no picture today' and Ben has recovered well in his last attack and his doctor has bumped up his daily dosage of pulmicort. His asthma attacks usually come after a cold but his last one seemed to be triggered while visiting new place with new paint and dust. As a parent of asthmatic child, it has taken a toll on us but I never lose hope and faith that he will outgrow his asthma. And I appreciate my sweetest Ben with or without his inhaler. He can be messy and a little brat at times but he is always the love and joy of my life. My daily favorite moment is holding him and kissing him on the back of his neck.

Life is much tougher than I had imagined while holding on to him in the first ER visit going through the pain in seeing all the procedures in helping him to get well. This post serves to honor my wife for her untiring caring of Ben on and off from hospital and outpatient care.
