Kendyl's Breathing Treat

My poor little girl has MASTERED her breathing treatment. It's just an albuterol nebulizer, but she calls it her "breathing treat". She's actually been asking for it this week while she's been sick. She just sits there and holds the mask on her face the whole time. It takes about 10 minutes. My poor girls have all had RSV as babies and now suffer with mild asthma because of it. The twins have nearly outgrown it. but Kendyl's gets pretty bad in the winter. She catches EVERYTHING and always ends up with crackling, labored breathing. So here's a picture for my memory box!

My Britton is the same way. He catches EVERYTHING & even the simplest cold always turns into something nasty. I swear the kiddo is sick from jan-may (though this year we've gotten so lucky & we've only been sick once). He's only used the nebulizer a handful of times, he'd much rather use his inhaler aka helicopter mask medicine. Ashton on the other hand uses the nebulizer when he's sick. Its his first winter with it & he's getting better about it every time. Darn that RSV.
