My worst nightmare came true yesterday.\u00a0 I took my son to the doctor and found out he has an infection in his lungs.\u00a0 He had to be put on a nebulizer for half an hour.\u00a0 We were up all night with him.\u00a0 He was coughing so badly he threw up twice.\u00a0 He is now on antibiotics and two inhalers \u2013 one being a steroid.<\/p>\n
They do not diagnose kids under four with asthma but he is considered asthmatic now.\u00a0 This does not run in our family; we do not smoke.\u00a0 He does not have allergies.\u00a0 A child came in the office after us with the same cough and the doctor said he is another asthmatic, and I found out he lives in Cable Beach \u2013 same as us.<\/p>\n
Apparently since the dump has been burning, there have been a lot of patients coming in with similar problems and I know this is not a coincidence.\u00a0 The dump is still burning.\u00a0 I just smelt it.\u00a0 I wonder if they are really trying to put it out like they claimed.\u00a0 I wonder if they care how many people\u2019s health they are ruining.\u00a0 Can the people affected be given some word on what is being done?<\/p>\n
A special thanks to the media for its support during this really hard time.<\/p>\n
