Well after a rough start to our move to Perth with 2 trips to PMH in a week with the kids our little man has settled down nicely. He had a small bout of croup and then asthma before developing all of the horrifying "flu like" symptoms before we darted off to the hospital.

I bought an additive book and try not to buy foods with asthma triggers in them but I don’t know if they specifically affect him or ...

Aahhhhh!!

I don’t hate many things but boy do I hate having to give little man his puffer every morning and night. I have to keep telling myself it is good for him and will keep him well but it is truly horrible.

He is such a cuddle bug as well so you ...
