keeping track, sorry...

To tell you the truth, the last thing I want to do here is chronicle my kid's asthma journey. Honestly, it's not that interesting. It's just a heartache for me, and I think it actually might be a good idea for me to be writing this stuff down. As I have, anyway, not clinically, but in my own way.

So these posts may contain this lungy stuff, on and off. Sorry. I want it gone, too.

So last night we went to an allergist/asthma specialist. The point was to have Genevieve tested for allergies to see if that could be playing a role in her asthma. I wasn't expecting to walk away with a full pediatric asthma action plan, and a follow-up appointment. I don't know if this is good or bad. Like our pediatrician, this doc wants Genevieve on a daily preventative dose of an inhaled steroid. This is not ideal, but if it would eliminate the need for the prednisolone that she takes when she gets really sick, it would be better. But at least we know that pollen and dust mites are allergens for her, as well as colds.
