Stupid asthma/allergies

ARGH!!!!  DD was in the hospital with pneuomonia the begining of March & she was "offically" diagnosed with asthma at the same time.  Earlier this week, she started wheezing & just sounding bad, so we started up the neb machine again, which she began to fight with a vegnence.  We were able to get a script for albuterol syrup, but she still went in yesterday.  We came out with a script for predisone (again...for like the 283895023 time) & then Singular chewables (which she doesn't like to do at all).  The doctor said that next time this happens, it will be time for the allergy tests.  Poor DD.

    Allergies and asthma suck!  DS had pneumonia 3 times over the winter and so he is being treated for possible asthma.  He has the neb 1x a day with pulmacort (some sort of preventative).  He actually doesn't mind it now as long as we sit at the computer and he can watch Sesame Street videos.  He also has a bunch of food allergies that they think could be contributing to the issues over the winter.  These poor kids.  Seriously.  I hope your DD feels better soon.

    We have so much pulmacort & albuterol for the neb machine that if I could sell it on the black market I would be rich!!!!  But, alas, I need to keep for the day she decides the neb machine is not evil.

    We use an inhaler for DS with a mask & spacer and have been doing so since about 16 months old. He's never used a neb machine.

    Maybe ask your pedi about that. We use the spacer & mask to give both his daily flovent and when needed the Albuterol. It was hard at first, but he's used to it now and is really good. We sing a song while we wait for him to take his 5-6 breaths.
