I've stuck very carefully with taking 1 of the 2 doses of the mild steroid inhaler I got last week. I noticed yesterday that I wasn't having constant asthma attacks, I was breathing without pain, and I could almost take a deep breath. I thought it was because yesterday was nothing but taking it easy.
Well, today was the return to normal. And I only has 2 smaller asthma attacks all day. And even at the end of the day my voice sounded normal. I had come to believe my voice was permanently damaged by whooping cough. Guess not.
And then an awesome thing happened---my sister emailed to see if I was ok because she knew I was stressed yesterday. That made me happier than anything has in months. It only took a baby girl to build a relationship that seemed damaged forever........
It's so great to hear progress on two fronts! I'm thankful for the good report! Go Jen! Go baby niece!
ReplyDeleteSoooo, half a dose of the mild steroid inhaler is making THAT big of a difference? Wow. WOnderful! Excellent! And side effects? Not too bad???? I am hoping this is the corner you needed to turn. Perhaps no hospitalization after all? I will be waiting to hear what happens at your appt today.
ReplyDeleteI hope you and your sister continue on the healing path. My 1st baby helped to make my mom and I closer too. Something about those little ones make us love more. Ya think?

Glad the breathing is better - hoping it takes care of the asthma in a gradual fashion. Glad the voice is coming back too!!!!
