I think I'm going to make it a point to stick around on this board to be supportive whenever possible. Hugs to you all for supporting me when I needed it

It feels good to Pay It Forward. Glad your son is better.

Please keep him home if you need to...for both of you.

If you have a "Mommy feeling" that something different is going on with him go to the ER.

Does your son attend an asthma approved school? That might be something to consider in the future. The Pediatric Asthma Coalition I'm sure can give you the list of what schools have been trained.
Wishing you better breathing.

You are doing the very best you can... YOu have notified all of these people...it is their job during the day to be responsible for your son..

Have you put this in writing or have you given them a doctor's note explaining his condition, I am sure you have, but just in case you missed that with everythng else you have going on.. I would make sure each and everyone of them had a copy of a letter from your doctor explaining his condition, what the meds do to his temperment, what to expect if he has an attack and what to do in case of an attack....the teachers, the office, the nurse's office, etc..

That way there are no questions, it is written and kept on file.. end of story...

My prayers for a quick recovery. My dd had the same thing from the age of 3. We had our share of emergency room visits as well. We ended up having to take her to a lung specialist. That did the trick. She was on the nebulizer, inhaler, prednazone the whole shabbang. I dealt with her hyperactivity as well due to the prednazone, fun! tests, tests and more tests, etc... We're greatful that she outgrew it at 10. She's now 13 and asthma free. (thinks she knows everything though )

Do you take your son to a specialist? Also, I found that the asthma would come on late at night. I would be up with her until morning sometimes.

Everything will work out. They'll just keep upping the meds until he's comfy... Hopefully he will outgrow it!

Are you near any major medical school that researchs Asthma and Allergies?

I am still in the discovery mode of staying well, with the help of the greater baltimore medical center's ASAP (Asthma, Sinus and Allergy Program).

Sometimes you can get brilliant specialists that may see 1 small thing that is the key to recovery and coping.

A parents worse fear is their child's inability to breath and thrive.

God bless you all
