Yae the Doc didn't call it that but said that she had what he thought was the beginning of Asthma. Placed her on singulair and the nebulizer 3X a day. We have with docs permission taken her off both since she is doing well now but for about 3 months after we brought her home I was in the docs office at least 2 to 4 times a month. I have severe asthma myself so I knew the symptoms and didn't want to take any chances. I don't know what they have you putting in her nebulizer but I am very thrilled with a medication that we put in Emmas when she needs it. It is named Xopenex the big difference between this and say albuteral is that it isn't suppose to cause the jitters and racing heart and so far I haven't seen those symptoms in Emma and there have been a few times that we have had to do back to back treatments. As an asthmatic I can tell you that being unable to breathe fully can be sometimes scarry but it can be compounded when those around you begin to panic. You have my number if you want to talk or want more info on what the docs have told us I would be more than happy to talk. Kiss your little one for me and I hope that she gets better.
