Asthma Gets In the Way

by Ali on June 19, 2010

Last week, it was play rehearsals every day that kept me too busy to do much- although I did manage to add a few inches to a sleeve of my sweater in between snapping pictures :-)

This week, it’s asthma.  The sounds that come out of our Gracie when she’s having a flare-up are not fun for a mother to listen to.  We managed at home with frequent nebs, allergy meds, and even starting another round of oral steroids when she began dropping her O2 and not bouncing back up after nebs… but it wasn’t enough.  She is back home now after 2 nights in the hospital.  It’s getting to be a bad habit for her…

I started a new Lacy Baktus.  I loved knitting my first one so much (I seriously wish I had designed this one, hehe!) that it’s become my carry-around knitting of choice.  I even ripped back a pair of unfinished socks with a new purpose for the yarn.  I really do enjoy knitting socks, but I rarely wear them.  Goofy, I know, but it is what it is, and laying aside sock-knitting gives me more scarf-knitting time, so it all works out just fine.

This new one is destined to be a gift, and I’m not saying for who (whom?), lest she find out. :-)

Oops! Now you know it’s a she…

Hehe, anyhoo, here’s to hoping this next week brings no real excitement.  I could use one of those mellow weeks, or maybe more than one…

Happy knitting-
ali

We just found out our youngest has Exercise Induced Asthma. We are lucky it is only brought on by intense exercise. I pray your little one will be back to normal soon.
