I have cough-variant asthma too - post-drowning. Took the docs 9 mos
to properly diagnose it. So many doctors don't even know what it is.

Thanks. I just think it's ridiculous that they have to be on death's
door before the docs will prescribe an antibiotic. I think if a 2 year
old has been sick *8* weeks, something needs to be done other than just
tell me "it's a virus". They finally gave him some Amoxi and lo and
behold - he's getting better. Only took me 4 straight nights of him
having 102 fevers to convince them (two different doctors).

Thank you, Carol. I am not a particularly religious person, but an
spiritual and welcome any prayers you have. I do believe in the
collective power of healing and postivie thought.

Thanks again for your kind thoughts and prayers,
