The Air We Breathe
Posted by Missy W. @ 10:03 AM
I have to say thank you to my sister, Gwen, Jenny M and AJ for writing such great reviews the past few weeks.
Sy has been sick, sick, sick since 2009 hit the pavement. Last week she was diagnosed with asthma, which is actually a total relief. We knew it was coming (her allergies, her genes…) so I am totally glad we figured it out. Now we have a treatment in place so we don’t have to keep rushing her to the doctor for that heinous nebulizer treatment. Why do they have to make that machine so LOUD? Anyway, I’ve been up around the clock for so many days that I just couldn’t come up with much that was witty, let alone intelligible. So thank you, friends, for writing for GHM! Besides that, the only real review I could muster up would be “My Favorite MDI (that’d be metered dose inhaler)” but really, any of our MDIs are my favorite right now because it means my child can breathe!
Every time I hear her cough that short, tight cough I get a little tingly with panic and do a mental (or physical) check to see where the inhalers are. I’m sending a shout-out to all the parents out there with seriously ill children. I honestly don’t know how you do it and I am sure there are many days that you don’t want to have to do it. Here we are with a very treatable issue and I still felt like I was going to throw up 24/7.
OK, off to go stare at my beautiful children and bask in their wonderful goofiness.

Ah asthma is not fun but can be easily lived with. It is good (which I’m sure you are) to create great habits when a child deals with this.
Take Care,
