A Graduation, Sort-of

We have graduated, kinda. My son has been attached to the nebulizer daily (if not multiple times a day) for the past 2 1/2 years. I have been so tired of performing the daily preventative treatments at night, every night! Our pediatrician has "graduated" us from the the nebulizer to the inhaler with the Aerochamber. 1 puff 2x per day for prevention, and if he is having an active flare-up, we then use the nebulizer to deliver the albuterol medicine. I know this sounds like nothing to get too excited over, but for a parent who has been tied-down to the nebulizer....this is reason to celebrate!!!! It brings a whole new level of freedom to our lives! Now we can read stories before bedtime without the nebulizer and it cuts down on 15 mins of the "bedtime routine."
