Good luck at the hospital, I do hope Dan's Dad can take you. If you see a doc today, at least they can give you something to maybe make you feel slightly better and you can enjoy Christmas.

Being in a really dry house can cause nosebleeds, but not blood in your mouth. Asthma can feel like your throat is closing, getting clogged, even if it's your lungs that are worse off, and it's nothing to mess with either way.
