a Cold? or is it “The Flu”???
August 14th, 2007
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.

June 8th, 2007
Do you notice anything that specifically triggers your child’s asthma / allergies or excema?

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 ...
Puffer Time is NOT Fun Time!
June 6th, 2007
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 a big boy and really strong so I have to lay him on my lap on the lounge with one arm behind me, wrap one leg over him and puff while keeping ...
Asthma Friendly Range of Toys

I searched endlessly for the supplier of these so i could get them for my son and they are the softest and cuddliest teddies that I have found. Everyone loves them whether their kids are asthmatic or not but I can tell you it is a refreshing change to know that he can sleep at night without having anything to aggravate his asthma any further. He is such a cuddle bug as well so you ...
