Asthma

Last night I experienced one of the many scary experiences a parent goes through. Brycen woke up in the wee hours of the night with shortness of breath, wheezing, coughing and a very fast pulse and heartbeat!

I spent 3 hours trying to regulate his breathing with his inhalers that he has been given when he gets a cough and sitting in the bathroom full of steam but nothing worked.

So off to CHEO we went. Luckily the wait wasn't horrific we were seen almost instantly then monitored the rest of the time along with plenty of breathing treatments and oral steroids.

We spent the day vegging and resuming the extensive puffer/steroid regimen for the day. Off to the asthma specialist tomorrow.

Thank God my boy is ok!!
