Yesterday I took Jacob in to see Dr. Beach(partner of Dr. Cole) to see if there is anything that will help Jacob's wheezing. She spent some time discussing Jacob's asthma history with me, and she said we should treat it very aggressively, and that we should try to get his asthma under control... she said if we have to use albuterol more than twice a week it's too much. I didn't think Jacob's asthma was that bad. So we got prescriptions for 6 different things!!! There are 2 kinds of pills to take, they are for allergy control, since asthma and allergy go hand in hand. The other 3 are for his inhalation, and another one is a nose spray(something to control allergy too and give him a clear nose). All the medicine came up to be $135, and this is only the co-pay part... can't imagine if we don't have insurance, it will probably run up to $500 easily!!!

So Jacob has been really good taking the pills as well as the inhalation treatment. Hopefully like Dr. Beach said, we will have his asthma controlled before we go back to Taiwan!!! And we will have to see her again at the end of next week.

Jacob weighed 60.5 lbs yesterday, what a big boy I have!! He has grown from 8 lb 3 oz to 60.5 lbs in 7 years!!! Wow!!
