So, I know this doesn't have anything to do with giftedness, or 2E, particularly, but I thought you guys might be able to help. My DD6 was recently diagnosed with asthma and we've been working quite hard the past 2 months to get it under control (a round of prednisone (3 days) along with 3-4 puffs of albuterol every 4 hours, then we went up to an inhaled steroid 2x a day and 4-6 puffs of albuterol every 3-4hrs) and it's finally getting a little better. Her primary symptom was just a nagging cough that wouldn't go away. Her x-ray showed lots of inflammation in her lungs, typical of asthma and the dr could hear wheezing in her lungs.
I'm trying to find good resources online to read up on asthma, but I can't find much that matches her symptoms. I really want to know what her chances are of having a full-on asthma 'attack' given the way she presented.
If anyone has any good resources, I'd love to know. Thanks guys!
