I hope the testing goes well.

I suspect that we'll be going the same route with Soph this year. It's only been cold a couple of days in Las Vegas this year but her cough managed to appear like clockwork. I keep expecting each year to get better, but it's going the other direction. And it completely sucks - from the breathing treatments, to seeing that little body struggle to breath, to the doctor appointments and missed school to limiting activities and to the inability to travel without all of the gear as we never know when an attack will happen.

Long way of saying that I know it definitely stinks and I'm sympathizing (sp?) with you. Best wishes to MM and to you.

While asthma may be a "lifetime condition," it's usually very manageable. J's best friend has had it since she was a baby, and does just fine participating in sports (swimming, gymnastics, t-ball/softball). They manage it with Advair and a few other drugs which MM may already take. I was diagnosed with it in 8th grade, and while I can't run or really exercise in very cold weather without some major wheezing, I'm fine.

It will be okay :)
