Over the past few months as I have been sharing our story and battle with asthma, I have received COUNTLESS messages & emails from so many of you that also have someone with asthma in your family – whether it’s a child, a spouse or even some of YOU, yourselves.
I have also talked to a TON of you that THINK your child might have asthma, but he/she hasn’t been diagnosed yet. And to each of you – I want you to know that I see you.
Although Hunter is now four years old, to be honest, he has actually been fighting this sickness his entire life.
As a new mom, I knew when he was just a few months old that something wasn’t right {I truly believe that mother’s instinct is a VERY real thing!} and we spent many hours and days visiting different doctors to try and figure out exactly what was wrong.
It started when he was only a month old and we noticed his breathing was a bit off. After checking with his physician, he was diagnosed with Laryngomalacia and was told that he would grow out of it.
Just a few months later, he was sleeping with an oxygen monitor on his foot that would alert us if his oxygen levels dropped, as his breathing was still worrisome. Almost EVERY single night, SEVERAL times a night, the alarm would sound and I would pull him out of his crib and rock him in a rocking chair all night long. I was afraid to let him go.
As time continued, he had a “croupy” cough for over a year and he would throw up in his crib every night {sometimes multiple times a night} from coughing so much. I still remember as I cried to the doctor, BEGGING him for help one day, Hunty threw up all over the doctor’s office right then and there! It was wild.
His weight had dropped. I was extremely sleep deprived. I needed help. And my baby did too.
To the tired mom…
To the confused mom…
To the hurt mom…
To the worried mom…
To the anxious mom…
I SEE YOU…YOU are not alone.
I promise you will get through this and there is light at the end of the tunnel.
There is help. There is happiness – and there is SO much hope!
