Being in the hospital is no fun, but neither is a bad asthma attack. Someone needs to explain to her mother that some of the inhalers are long-term preventative inhalers. They have to be used every day to be effective. I know, I do two puffs every morning of my Azmacort, then rinse my mouth out. It's annoying, but not as annoying as a hospital stay! Only the albuterol has any immediate effect, the other NEED to be done all the time!

Samatha's doctor needs to drum that into her mom's head.
I know The worse part is that Samantha doesn't mind taking them AT ALL, and she even has to tell her mom when she NEEDS her puffers, or ask for them, and that's wrong.

Her mom barely has her anyway, she's with me more than she's with her mom, and when we bring her home, her mom brings her to another baby-sitters house for a few nights...until she calls to come back to our house...sad!
