Asthma

Last week I took my little Max man in for his two year old check up. When Max was a baby we were told that he had a mild form of asthma and that he would probably grow out of it. So at this last check up I was asking the doctor about it and trying to figure out if he did indeed have asthma or what. The doc says with all of his symptoms that it is asthma and that he probably won't grow out of it. I know that this is a very minor thing to be dealing with but I just started crying when the doc told me this. I think every mother wants their child to be 100% perfect and not have a thing wrong with them. I hate to think of my little rambunctious kid struggling for breath as he is playing tag or football. The poor thing is always coughing and as he is running from trampoline to trampoline in our backyards he just huffs and puffs! So for now we have a nebulizer and we give him breathing treatments as needed, One day we will get him an inhaler when he is a little bit older. But it just breaks my heart! I can't imagine what other mothers with really sick children are feeling. Other then his asthma Max is doing great. He is right on track with everything and the doctor assured me that all little boys are a little rowdy and crazy. Max is our little go getter he is relentless and will not back down. Hopefully his strong will and energy will serve him well in life!! Oh and he is in the 25th percentile for his heighth and the 75th for his weight! That's my boy short and fat!!!
