Apparently She Did Not Outgrow It...

asthma that is. Katelyn had asthma problems for a long time when she was little. Started as a baby and continued until around first grade. Then everything seemed to turn to allergy and sinus problems as I have shared her before....two full sinus reconstruction surgeries in 1st grade and 5th grade.

So, she has been having some trouble during activities mostly. Well then again, I now know that apparently she has just been compensating for it and not knowing that the way she felt was not normal. She has complained a lot with headaches (I thought were allergy related) and dizziness (which I had no idea what was causing). Today, at the dr office, she registered 300 on the breath flow meter and the 50 something year old dr registered 650. She was only getting half the air she should.

Needless to say, she is back on the breathing machine treatments, Advair as a preventative med, and Albuteral (hand held puffer). This is in addition to her antibiotics, Nasonex, Singular, and Xyzal.

Hopefully it will all be huge help and she will notice a tremendous difference. Poor girl has been playing softball tournaments in the heat, humidity, and only half the air intake she should have had!
