Finn was diagnosed with asthma when he was just a baby. Fortunately, it only seems to cause him problems when he is sick or the world is on fire like it was this summer (and he actually did well holding his own during that time). That's how we ended up with a nebulizer that utilizes a fishy mask. I spent too much time outside fighting with Larry on the leash on our 2.5 mile walk. I had already gone 4.5 with Sofi but had a nice break in between. After this summer, I have been extremely anxious to get back to where I was fitness wise. It frustrates me each time I realize that I have to better learn how to deal with my lungs and what will set them off. And it frustrates me even more when I can't get back to where I was as fast as I want. But, I'm no quitter. I WILL get there.
Hope you are feeling better. Maintaining a fitness level takes time, and sometimes (remember you have 10 kids) you will not have that time. But when you do, you will use it to get to where you want to be. Be patient with yourself :)
