Our daughter has been diagnosed with "cold induced asthma". Her doctor actually diagnosed her with it after only the second bout (when she was about 10 months old). I thought they didn't like to diagnose "asthma" until 2 or so. Anyway, we've had plenty of episodes and done plenty of nebulizer treatments and oral steroids. She is much better now, and has actually had a couple of colds that didn't turn into anything. She did have RSV when she was about 8 or 9 months old, and the start of pneumonia around 2 years old. She is now three. The last time she had an asthma bout I asked if we could put her on Sinulair (sp?). The doctor wanted to wait until the treatments didn't help, or the episode came right back. I have a neice and nephew with asthma as well (they have pretty much outgrown it). I think it's more common to kids born in the U.S. as well, although I was wondering if being born in Guatemala had anything to do with my daughters. Good luck with the treatments. Our daughter is excited to do them at first, and then quickly becomes tired of them. Ug. Hopefully they will all outgrow it
