Gas Mask....That Is All I Am Sayin' GAS MASK

Who thought it would be wonderful medicine to put a plastic mask over your face and make you breath in some weird smoke????? Aren't masks supposed to keep germs and bad stuff OUT. Well I haven't been feeling too hot. I have had a runny nose and it got worse and I started coughing and Mommy wanted to have me checked out because I had pneumonia that one time and she didn't want me to get it again. ANYWAY. We go to the doctor, which was cool because Daddy hadn't been to this doctor with us before. Mommy always takes me to the pediatrician. So it was like a little adventure. They came in, checked me out, I checked out the room, like I always do. The nurse Meredith listened to my chest. I tried to grab the little wooden stick, you know the same old routine and then things changed.....she started saying "Lets give him a nebulizer treatment and see how he does. He may fight it but it will only be for 5 minutes." Now I am not really paying that much attention because I was trying to escape from the room. I mean they were talking so noone could see me try to open the door, right?

Well, they, the nurses get to leave, I tried to have one of them take me with her, but she didn't. And then they come back.....with this thing....it was loud and weird looking. The masked tried to be all cute and look like a fish...no people NOT WORKING I know what fish look like. Mari has a fish tank in the house, we look at them everyday. They don't look like this mask!

Well, they put this liquid in, I am sitting on Daddy's lap and he starts to try to put this thing on my face. WHOA WHOA WHOA, NO WAY DADDY....HOLD ON A SECOND THERE! last time they did this, I woke up in a hospital bed, with weird stuff in my mouth and a lot of pain....not happening. But, he didn't listen. Mommy was trying to get me to calm down...didn't work....nothing worked...no offense to my parents, I didn't want it. I screamed and cried through the whole 5 minutes. It even took me a while to calm down afterwards. But the nurse came in, checked me out again, said I sounded better and they sent Mommy and Daddy home with the machine!!!!! Did they seriously think they were going to do that again?!


Well, they did.....while I was sleeping....they woke me up....I was not happy....I screamed EVEN LOUDER.....yeah I didn't last the whole 5 minutes that time.....

And this morning Mommy tried to be slick. She gave me the mask to play with first....so I did, I checked it out, I put it on my face and smiled at her. She then put it on the tube connected to the machine. I played with it, checked it out some more. Then she put the medicine in....and turned IT ON - NOT HAPPY!!! But then Mommy started to act really crazy singing songs really loud and it kind of just took me by surprise so I chilled out for a bit. I got interested in this commercial and was a bit distracted, then I remembered what was going on with this smoke thing and got annoyed. But by then it was almost over. Mommy said she was really proud of me this morning. So I guess I did okay, but man not a fan of the gas mask...no not a fan!!!!!!


This was me in the doctor's office....yeah you would think Mommy wouldn't take a picture of this, but she did.....she always takes pictures.....
