It is the middle of the night....

It is just after 1.00 am and Luca is sitting on the sofa having a nebuliser treatment.

I have already also given him an oral steroid and he has atrovent, ventolin and pulmicourt going in his nebuliser.

It sounds like he has a sore throat so his cough is more of a croup one but from past experience we know that this means that his lungs are already closing up. On his asthma action plan the cut off point for his peak flow (a device that measures how much air he is getting into his lungs) is 130. Just before putting on the nebulisier he was at 80! Scarily low. As we live 30 mins from the hospital we have to neb him before moving him so that is where we are at the moment.

Here is praying that his peak flow has come far enough up after this treatment to let us stay here. But if there is any doubt..we are off to ER.

Please pray for Luca and I will update as soon as we can.

It has been just under 6 months since his last hospitalisation and we really want to avoid another one.
