Hiya

I float around on here now & then and don't really post too much but I need some advice on the above.

My dd was born 10 weeks early and is now nearly 17 months old. She has just got out of hospital (her 4th admission since leaving scbu), This time they has deffinelty said that they belive she has asthma and have uped her inhallers to stronger ones.

The problem we see it is that when she gets a cold she then has breathing difficulties and her pipes cannot cope and temperature spikes etc. We do have a cat but do not believe this causes any problems for her because she plays with him and has no signs of difficulties etc.

She goes to Nursery 5 days a week at the moment but were looking to see if we can reduce this as this may be causing problems for her because she is mixing with other children.

I'm tearing my hair out because I just do not know what to do for the best for her, the questions going around my mind at the moment are.

Do I give up work and look after her?

Keep her indoors do not mix with anyone?

Do I take her out of nursery and look for an alternative?

What about our lifestyle do we need to change it?

I really want the best for my dd as she is very presious to us as she was very unexpected.

Please I need some advice and also I would be interested to find out if there are any other mums out there in the same position ?

Many Thanks in advance
Alicats
