Breathing treatments
Ally has had some respiratory issues for the past 2+ weeks and we’ve had to do more breathing treatments than ever. Normally she does very well with them, but this past week she’s really been fighting it. Luckily we got a hold of these awesome nebulizer masks. . .They’ve definitely helped make treatments go a little easier. She chooses a baby or stuffed animal to use the tiny turtle preemie mask on and uses the dinosaur on herself. Luckily she’s starting to cough less so we can taper down to less treatments per day! YAY! Unfortunately, we’re going to have to continue a daily Pulmicort treatment every day until at least the end of the winter.

Oh wow…those masks are super cool and cute! I am sorry she has to undergo so many treatments, BUY definitely hooray for less coughing! 😀 She’s a trooper, as always. ((hugs)) to Ally-girl!

Those masks are SO cool… well, “cool” given the circumstances!
I have asthma too and have had those breathing treatments when I was younger. Luckily I grew out of most the asthma related symptoms but it sometimes comes back. Our doctor prescribed me recently Advair because I got sick and had trouble breathing for about a month. Been trying it out and it works really well. Not sure if she is able to use something like that or not. Might be worth asking.
