One thing that has worked for me is to take the mask off the end of the tube and just hold it up to his face while he's playing. He'll sometimes ignore it and sometimes will try to eat it (which is fine with me, cuz a byproduct of him sucking on it is that he's breathing in the meds). Our ped told us once that if he's screaming or crying, you might as well stop the treatment because it won't work anyway. They take shallow breaths when they're upset like that, so less of the medication will go in their system. <br /><br />Another mom blogger I read whose son has asthma and does daily neb treatments will let him watch cartoons during the treatment. It's the only time he gets to watch cartoons, so that works for him. <br /><br />Also, I'm sure you've heard this, but just in case - cold air helps when the wheezing gets to scary levels. If you get really concerned, step outside (if you live in a cold climate) or stand in front of the open freezer. We've done this when things have gotten particularly bad and it seems to help a bit when you're desperate.<br /><br />Good luck. I really hope you guys catch a break soon.Phase Three of Lifehttp://www.phasethreeoflife.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318432618768960668.post-9858975886663448952012-01-13T13:13:53.738-05:002012-01-13T13:13:53.738-05:00I hope she gets better soon.

I hope she feels better soon!<br /><br />This actually kinda scares me because right around Christmas time Natalie had a cold with wheezing and a stuffy nose, and since we had already been to the doctor for her last cold and it seemed like this was similar, we didn't take her. Now I'm wondering if it HAD been RSV.

For one, it's loud, so we put a pillow over the machine so it wasn't quite as loud and scary sounding. We also "counted to turn on" like blasting off which made it less of a shocking scare and had the TV going for the whole treatment to distract. We also tried Ipod earbuds in the ears with a favorite song or show playing. Maybe try any of those? It went from a screaming fight to a much easier process for us!Elysehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06807899080866121540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318432618768960668.post-7605151093437635252012-01-12T21:54:49.332-05:002012-01-12T21:54:49.332-05:00We did breathing treatments last winter for someth...We did breathing treatments last winter for something similar but not as severe as what you guys seem to be dealing with. Anyway, we didn't see results right away but it did make a difference after a few days. Hope the treatments go better when you are at home...maybe watching a movie or playing on the ipad would help? good luck!Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12811686880551372789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318432618768960668.post-19728259915260009002012-01-12T21:48:48.160-05:002012-01-12T21:48:48.160-05:00Poor sweet Nora!
