'My daughter won the attendance award that nobody wants: most sick days.'
It started when she was in preschool. One night, she woke up sounding like an accordion as she struggled for each high-pitched breath of air. We rushed her to the hospital, where they gave her steroids., I was told that even if she sounded bad, I didn’t need to worry as long as she was playful. Later that night, she woke up and asked me to play I Spy. I noticed her rapid breathing, but she was playful, so I told her to go back to sleep.
I gained a new appreciation for the small acts that make a community, too. Family and friends made tons of little gestures that kept us rolling. A friend dropped coffee and cake pops on our doorstep, a classmate dropped off a get-well card, families stopped by with gifts before a hospital visit. Honestly, even a quick “check in” text helped.
After that, I took her to be checked for asthma, and the test was negative. At the time, I didn’t realize that cough-variant asthma doesn’t always show up on a test. It took another two years to get that sorted out, and during that time, we tried allergy testing, reflux medicine, and even a hospital procedure to check her airways using a scope.
