Meghan starts battling winter Asthma early!

We had Meghan's first doctor visit this morning. As much as we would love to keep her in a bubble, we let her go into the germ filled world. She caught a cough and cold from someone at church or mom's day out and we had to get her a z-pack and some cough meds. So far her wheezing is under control but we like to keep a close eye on her. The last thing we want is for her to go into resp. distress like last year. I will never forget that day at Children's. Her oxygen level was down to 70% and her breathing rate was 90per min. Her whole chest would pull in when she tried to breathe. We are lucky that she has access to the best asthma/allergy doctor in DFW. We also have a great pedi and family doctor. Between the three of them working together and available 24/7, I think she will have an uneventful winter. In the spring she will have her tonsils and adenoids removed and then she begins a 25 week course of allergy shots. The goal is to cure her allergies which triggers her asthma and be able to reduce and/or eliminate the adult steroids she takes to manage her current symptoms. Please pray for a healthy winter for our precious little princess.
