Andrea was diagnosed with asthma about 3 months ago.. however she takes singulair each night to curb the episodes and for the past month it's worked like a charm... i really haven't had to nebulize her... until this weekend.. when she woke up around 3 am sunday morning with an asthma attack... then had another again around 9:30pm ... then 2:30am and of course around 8am which brings us to monday :( i took her to the pedi just to make sure i wasn't nebulizing her for asthma when that wasn't really the case.. he confirmed that they were just back to back flare ups.
Wow i'm completely exhausted... i had to of course explain to her teachers and her director at school what an asthma attack sounds like and what her symptoms are so they know whats going on... it just really makes me sad that my little girl has to struggle with this. Just the thought that she spends 8 hours a day at school without me there and could possibly have these attacks and if not paid close attention to will go untreated makes me lose sleep and want to throw up all at the same time... its really unnerving . i'm kind of at a loss for words right now. basically she just coughs and coughs and cant seem to get enough releif until nebulized.. she gets two different meds through the nebulizer then if she still cant pass the attack she gets one oral med. plus the singulair that is given every night. my house looks like the pill box :(
