Everything Else

YB has succumbed yet again to the allergy-induced evil hacking, body-wracking, vomit-up-a-lung cough of death. I've had to start him on oral steroids, and we're doing breathing treatments about every three hours. Why, yes, as a matter of fact, I am exhausted. And so is he, poor thing.

It's probably asthma triggered by allergies -- the worst kind, IMO. My oldest had asthma triggered by upper respiratory infections, so at least I'd know when a flare-up was coming, but with my youngest, they hit out of the blue, since we don't know what his allergy trigger are yet. You should try to get referred to an allergist, and get them to prescribe a nebulizer for her if you don't already have one.

Yeah, we did get a nebulizer on our last visit. The relief seems so temporary, though. I'll mention the allergist referral to my wife to bring up at the appointment.
