In case you're keeping track

I took Hannah back to the ped yesterday (3rd time in 7 days) after she puked yesterday morning and did not get off the couch until 11am. Once there she had a temp of 99.something and still wheezing and O2 sat of 91. So, ped ordered a chest and head x-ray. Then, added singulair, duoneb (to be alternated with the albuterol) in the nebulizer, and orapred. Seriously...this is nuts. Chest x-ray was clear and sinuses impacted per the radiologist. I'll call the ped this morning. Last night she had a 101 temp and slept for 45 mins on the way home. I tried to get her to eat an ice cream sandwich and she wouldn't even do that. SURELY all of these drugs will make her better.

Sounds like a virus kick-starting the breathing problems. Hopefully it will run its course quickly and she'll be feeling better soon. {{{hugs}}}

I'm so sorry about your sick baby girl. Asthma can be tricky - I was diagnosed myself when I was an adult. Certain things trigger mine, like strong smells such as candles or perfume. I pray that the doctor can come up with the proper combination of meds for her.Sorry she is miserable and I know you and your husband hurt to see her ill. Love to all, Sarita
