Right before Olivia started battling her seizures, we were told that she may possibly have asthma. Yesterday I took her into the doctor for the second time in 5 days because of a chronic cough she has had for over 2 weeks now. She was actually having an asthma attack, wheezing and all, in the doctors office. She put her on the nebulizar and then decided to put her on a medication. She is on Singulair. It's a chewable pill that she takes once every evening. We also have a nebulizar machine and we have to give it to her twice a day when she's in episodes like this. Hopefully this singulair will help. She will have to go on an inhaled steroid if this doesn't help. I'd rather she didn't have to do that. At least not at this age. So we're just praying that this works. It's supposed to take a week to two weeks before it works. It seems to be worse at night. She's had an attack the past 3 nights. Last night at 1 in the morning and it was pretty bad. I've never really heard her wheezing and I actually could last night.
Other than that, she's doing good. She will be 15 months old on Saturday! People tell you the time goes by fast...but you really have no clue! She's running all over and climbing on everything. She is becoming quite the talker. Her words are: mama, dada, (dad, daddy) baby, duck, doggie, hi, bye, oh, balloon (aka: baboon- lol), pretty, up, & yes. I'm so suprised this girl doesn't say 'no' yet. haha.
Hope you guys are doing well! Stace-How is grama doing?

Hello Kari. Sorry to hear of the asthma.. if it's not one thing.... They told mom that I had asthma when I was a baby too.. never has effected me, unless i eat or drink too much dairy. I wouldn't call it asthma,, just get a bit wheezy and phlemy with dairy, so do my boys.. Might help with her. Mom is doing much better. Off the oxygen now. I will send her this link again, now that I found it.. My pc went down and I got a new one.. (lost you link on the old one) got the old one repaired so I just found this address again.. still working on getting all the email addresses changed over.. Best go get ready, lots to get done today.. Love you dear, kiss your beautiful family for me..~ Aunt Stacey
Kari, you can go into your settings on blogger and enable moderator, and if someone comments it will go directly to your email, then you can publish it.. That is how I do my blog, saves time looking to see who has written..
