Chauffeuring pilgham to and from work again this week.

Tests came back pointing towards asthma so he's on an inhaler now and not sure if it is working.

*raises hand* Two spawn with mild asthma, hubby in denial that he's the genetic link between them and asthmatic granny... although he sneaks red-headed son's Ventolin inhaler before he goes out with his running group.

A lack of oxygen makes the body have odd reactions. If he stops having these breathing fits, then the inhaler is working.

Well, he didn't wake me at 3 this AM with a coughing fit. That's a positive step. For both of us.

Interrupted/poor sleep is one of the symptoms of asthma. In the red-head's case, he virtually stopped growing, until the meds allowed him to stay asleep deeply enough for the growth hormones to release. The lack of sleep made his anxiety/depression much, much worse; everything's smoothing out now... just in time for the teenage angst hormones to kick in! Oi!

But now when he angsts it will be "normal"!

I am cautiously optimistic that I can cope with 'normal' angst.

I am undoubtedly delusional.

Insist it isn't. The truth is worthless.
