Asher's Sick - Again

For the third time in less than six weeks, Asher is really sick. He is coughing so violently that he can't keep anything down. He just coughs so violently that he vomits up anything that he eats/drinks. We're giving him cough medicine, breathing treatments, and Flovent to ease his pain. I think it's helping a little bit, but the kid hasn't kept any fluids or calories in his tiny little body at all yesterday. Jeez.

At first, I thought he was having an asthma attack because the weather dropped 30 degrees overnight. I thought the temperature triggered it. It's also not lost on me that it happened on day five of the broccoli trial. If we're going to see a reaction, it happens on day five. Honestly, I hate day five. It's just enough time when you think that everything is going all right and then, bam! something bad happens.

Is it asthma? Is it broccoli? Is it ___ fill in the blank here? Who knows. I just know this kid is really sick.
