Today we had Carlie's 6 year check up. She is still in the 85% for her height and weight. She is going to be very tall! I have been suspecting that Carlie has asthma for awhile. And lately, a couple people have mentioned to me that "Carlie had a hard time breathing" or "Carlie was wheezing a little bit." Well, that set me into Mama Bear mode, and I actively started researching child asthma, and when I took an online quiz for Carlie - she had 9 out of the 10 symptoms. So today during her check up I had them test Carlie for asthma, and sure enough - her lung capacity was only at 60%! So they are aggressively trying to get this back in check by a high(er) dose of Advair twice a day, and we have to go back in two weeks for a retest. Let's face it, she not only looks like Jeff, she has inherited all of his physical conditions as well - allergies, eczema and now asthma. But - she does have my personality ... good or bad? The good news is that there is the possibility she will grow out of it. Let's hope that is the case..as she grew out of her strawberry and red food dye allergy...it's possible!

Oh poor Carlie, I can't imagine how scary it would be to have trouble breathing. Good thing she's such a trooper! I'll be praying for her to grow out of it.
