asthma

september 12 2007

I'm feeling a bit better, apart from a cold that has nested itself on top of the anitibiotica. Grrrr...

Went with my second son to the lungdoc.

It took ages of waiting in the waitingroom. We were lucky to sit in a section with no one staring at us, so we could talk and joke and see the time pass on the clock right in front of us.

The ladydoc seemed to be young, but when we sat in front of her she looked a lot older.
She explained the tests of a few days ago and told us that he had asthma.

Well, I already knew that.
Our familydoc owes me... he doubted it.

We have asthma in the family.
My uncle died from it.

The doc told my son not to smoke and was a bit amazed he was so very clear about not wanting to.
"Many parents bribe their children with drivinglessons and such."
Well, we didn't.
I've always told my children they are responsible for their own health and I don't allow smoking in my house and I won't wash clothes from those who smoke.

Well, I'm very happy he doesn't like smoking at all... but I feel so sorry he has to deal with the same problems I have to face.
Luckily he had a good role model.
