When you can’t even take a deep breath

A.M. weigh in: no idea

Breakfast: Doritos and Coke Zero

Hours of sleep last night: less than 3 total

Skye’s birthday party yesterday, kids went swimming. Sean’s asthma flared up. And got worse. He wheezed all night, had to give him breathing treatments every few hours. He just had a hot bath this morning. I can hear him wheezing from across the house. Time to take Skye to preschool and get him in to Urgent Care. Last time we went through this, he ended up being rushed by ambulance from Urgent Care to the Er. Took about 6 hours to get his oxygen levels up to the normal range. Still don’t know why. And don’t know what triggered this round. Or why he’s not responding to his meds. I was hoping he was starting to outgrow this. It’s been 18 months since his last serious attack. Before then he was having at least one a year. Damn it! Can’t this kid get a break?! Food allergies, autism, asthma… and probable dyslexia and bipolar disorder. He’s only 7!!

  1. Yikes! Asthma can be so scary. I hope Sean is doing better!

    Our situation is not nearly as urgent/severe, but my youngest seems to be having a reaction to the chlorine (we assume) in the family pool at the Y. The chlorine level is really high in that pool, as it needs to be, but every time he goes he ends up hacking and coughing for a day or two afterwards.

  2. Sounds rough:( I hope your son is feeling better soon. My 10yr old has had asthma since he was 3months old…same situation…took him to the urgent care and rushed him to the hospital, he stayed in for a week, on oxygen:(

    I wish the kids didnt have to go through this horrible battle.
