Allergies are just so wonderful. Jeremy finally went to see an allergist yesterday. Dr. R kept saying over and over again how Jeremy is a trainwreck. They took blood, did a skin test, did a pulmonary test, saw that his lung capacity was only 82%, gave him a shot of steroids in his butt, and gave him a script for even more steroids to take over the next 6 days. We don't know if there is damage to his lungs but it is possible that that they have fluid in them and probably scar tissue. I guess when he goes back in 2 weeks we will know more.
Ever since I have known him, Jeremy has had a problem with clearing his throat a lot. He talked to Dr. P about it several times and he kept prescribing different meds and they never seemed to help. The night we went to the Pirates game everything seemed to change. He had severe chest congestion, was constantly coughing, and was barely sleeping. We went to MedExpress last week and they gave him some medicine but it didn't help. On Monday, I finally called the allergist and got him an appointment.
I actually feel guilty for not doing it sooner. I am not his parent and he is a grown man, but I still feel it was my responsibility as his wife to get his ass there and I should have done it sooner.
But, like Mom said last night, he is seeing an allergist now, is in good hands and will get some relief.
