We are officially in the "asthma" club

After many episodes of breathing, coughing and wheezing issues even with several allergy meds, Luke is officially on an inhaler. This has been an ongoing issue during allergy season and whenever he gets sick since he was about 18 months old. After being treated with oral steroids last month, we were back at the ped today after 2 straight days and nights of wheezy coughing.

The upside of the inhaler is that a year of the inhaler equals the amount of steroids in 4 days of oral steroids. Less steroids in his system=much happier mama.

We chose a less time consuming method of med delivery and he did great with it tonight. He has felt so crappy with the cough that I think he is more than happy to do whatever it takes to feel better.
