We tried some of the naturopath steam tricks: in Addis Ababa, just after we adopted Adinah, we picked eucalyptus leaves off of the trees around our bungalow, and just put those in a pot of boiling water. But it's nice to know she may leave it behind when she gets older.....pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14675993483165955805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1970927334223123519.post-51389047787883133572008-03-08T03:54:00.000+01:002008-03-08T03:54:00.000+01:00Ouch, poor baby.

Once they called me from school because she had to sit down and rest half-way up a flight of stairs. She was on Flixotide as well, and had her emergency inhaler. We took her to an actual respiratory hospital, rather than a regular clinic, so it was pretty big deal. <BR/><BR/>I took her to a naturopath as well, while we were still in Hungary, and I did small steam pots of essential oils (lemon, pine, lavender, eucalyptus, clove) when she was having tough times. Here in the States they don't put much stock in that, but I maintain that it helped. <BR/><BR/>The good news is, she did, in fact, grow out of it. She hasn't been on any sort of medication for 4 or 5 years ... maybe a bit longer. She is still more susceptible to coughs than the average person, but she's pretty much fine now. <BR/><BR/>I know that doesn't help now, but I never thought she'd grow out of it, and she proved me wrong. <BR/><BR/>Good luck ... that can be very scary.more cowbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17867825812404503048noreply@blogger.com
