[QUOTE="house of cards, post: 232266, member: 2005"] I think she will take her lead from you, although my 2 were babies when diagnosed so they really don't know anything else. When I first knew they had asthma I was very careful to control everything I could, when I needed to take them out in the cold I covered their heads and ran to a warmed car, I immediatly started treatments at the slightest suggestion of a cold or wheeze, you get the picture. I don't know if they really needed that level of care, I think they did, but it isn't such a big deal now. I don't really have any issues with M, with A the allergies play into alot of it but I no longer run to treat the second I hear a wheeze, in fact I usually will just ask her if she needs a treatment, she is almost 4, she usually says no because she doesn't want to stop what she is doing, and sometimes she is right, it goes away or wasn't really a wheeze. If she is really bad, she will say yes. I just watch her and if it doesn't go away I'll take over and tell her she needs a treatment. I want her to learn to manage it herself and to treat it like it is no big deal so I'm starting young. I don't know how severe Duckies asthma is, A was hospitalized once at 15 months old, when the treatments didn't improve things and it was an awful time driving to the hospital with a child in a carseat wondering how much air she was getting, when I got there the attending was annoyed I brought her, told me I should have just treated her more aggressively...then admitted her because their nebulizer treatments weren't working either! That was scary but since that time I have seen her through many colds and episodes on my own and I believe I can handle it. I hope there is something in this that helps you. [/QUOTE]
