After a lot of research, I know that I have to take Luci completely off of dairy and non-natural food additives for awhile and see if it helps her asthma. I know this will be very difficult as we already have daily battles over being gluten-free.

I'm grateful that there are still lots of things to try.

The humidifier I bought yesterday conked out after 30 minutes and will not come on despite my best trouble shooting efforts. You get you pay for, my friends.

I'm grateful that I have the receipt and can get my money back.

I pulled the van out of the garage to take the girls to dance and gymnastics this evening and I have a flat tire. Brad is running the girls to stuff late and then coming back to help me change to the spare so I can get it to the shop tomorrow. We bought this tire three weeks ago.

I am grateful that it didn't happen on the road somewhere so that I was stranded in the icy cold with three little girls while struggling to change it alone.

I remember my mom going off dairy and it completely got rid of her asthma and the need for an inhaler. Also, breathing in the scent of raw honey is very therapeutic for alleviating tightness in the chest before an asthma attack. We always have a jar on hand from our beekeeper friend and Girly uses it when her lungs feel tight and it works like a charm every time.

we gave my son raw local honey every day and he no longer gets asthma attacks. Go figure. I read it somewhere, thought it was crap but couldn't really hurt, and surprise, it worked.

It's so nice to hear that it worked for someone else! When we tell people about it, we get laughed at. We give my daughter a spoon every day, too. She no longer uses her inhaler. Just the honey.

I ate a massive spoonful of local raw honey every day as a kid and it helped my chronic hayfever and related wheezing like no other drugs before or since.
