Asthma Attack

My son had his first asthma attack yesterday. We were reading Whinnie the Pooh and he started coughing. The coughing got worse and eventually, he couldn't breathe in anymore. It was scary. I was very grateful to God that we had the nebulizer and I gave him an extra treatment, and that helped. Today we went to the doctor and she added a second medication to his nebulizer treatments called Pulmicort in addition to the Xopenex he's already getting. This makes for a very long nebulizer treatment...almost a half hour of my son having to sit. So, we watch Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, but it's still a long time for him. Whatever is helpful.
So long as he can breathe!
