Goober update
Several have asked about Goober.
My 4-year old granddaughter is home.
Just as they have done during past extreme asthma attacks, the doctors prescribed Prednizone (steroid) which is taken in a large initial dose. As a precaution she is taking Zithromax, an antibiotic. She was already using Singular and Xopenox ( an inhalant.)
Next week she should be weaned from the Prednizone, finished with her Zithromax and switched from Xopenox back to Albuteral, which is breathed through a machine, and Asthmacourt, an older but tried and true inhalant.
That's too much information, isn't it?
(You should have seen my spellchecker light up on those meds! ! !)
When I talked to her on the phone this evening, she was happy and enjoying being home with her brothers and sister.

I hope you are feeling better and that the meds are working. Have a wonderful holiday. Having asthma is no fun...like a fish trying to breathe out of water. <:)
That's a long list of meds. I will no longer complain that I have to take an occasional puff of albuterol when the old asthma flares up.
Merry Christmas to you and Goober.
A very Merry Christmas to you and your family.
You know, it's a sad commentary when little ones are so sick their families practically need degrees in pharmacology to keep up with their meds!!
((hugs))
No, not TMI. I think all us moms could be medical doctors by the time our kids are grown, LOL.
I'm glad for you and Goober!
I'm also laughing over a very interesting package that arrived today. It wasn't addressed to "Narnia" but I have a feeling that this is from you ;) Too funny, I'm gonna laugh every time I look at it.
I will post "it" on my blog for everyone else to laugh at sometime this evening.
Thank you so much. Your gift is probably the most useful and desperately needed gift!
Still laughing...
Thx for stopping by my place, have a great Christmas and Safe New Year
