    Not a good day today.

    Daughter ended up back at the hospital this morning where we were for several hours. They think she has a virus which has triggered her asthma so have been sent home with a load of medication and a poorly 4 year old.

    I am not entirely happy with her treatment and can see me back there tonight with her. One thing I can say for sure is I won't be getting any sleep again lol

    Thanks chick. They have got to do something to manage this asthma as she is having a bad attack every couple of weeks. I feel like a very useless mummy at the moment.

    Is she on the highest dose she can be for her inhalers? I had asthma as a kid but it was pretty mild apart from in winter.

    Yeah I think so. I briefly spoke to the asthma nurse at the GP and they said they may be able to let me have an electronic nebuliser at home for her as it is instant relief. Its quite hard to get a four year old to take an inhaler correctly.

    Have just put her to bed and have my fingers crossed we both get some sleep tonight.
