how is her breathing now? is she retracting? does she "look" ok?...these would be my questions having experience with my kiddos and reactive airway. let us know how she is OK? xxoo K
she seem to be breathing fine, no retracting, but she is weezing alittle, but not something i would worry about, it just that it seem her asthma just goes from not so good to i mean very hard breathing and it mostly at night. I think it the fever that bothering me more, becasue every little infection or cold she get trigger off the asthma
As a mom....I would settle in for the night and see how she does...You can always do another neb tx tonight to ease your concerns re: her breathing. My kids temps always spiked at night, always more scary. Yet the ER in the middle of the night can be a scary and exausting experience as well. (no offense ER nurses.) I hope this helps. Little sick ones are a sad and scary thing, I know. Your a good Mama. :)
