Once they gave him the steriod he got over it pretty quick. The other times we did just as they said, walk outside, steam in the shower, but it never worked fast enough for me!! Hannah just got it a month ago, so we just opted for the ER again for the steriod. It always is worse at night, so if you have the patience to wait until morning, do that. But I'm a wussy I guess....the good news is they grow out of it fast. Once their little airways grow, they don't get it anymore. They say they rarely get it past age of 3. Henry hasn't had it for a year now, so maybe even 2. Just make it through this winter and you should be fine!Carissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02416988787640585716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1160638492811401580.post-11834170734582752792011-12-07T14:58:34.031-06:002011-12-07T14:58:34.031-06:00Hi Abby!
