meh.

I feel very despondent today. Even Lady M's picture of wee Archie didn't raise my spirits.

Wee Tilly has chronic asthma. She's very good at dealing with it and I'm usually very positive, but today after another trip to the GP and day off school we are not only on seritide, salbutamol, prednisilone and antibiotics but back on these little sachets.

The consultant took us off them because they seemed to have no effect but the GP we saw today was concerned at how many episodes and steroids had been issued in the last four months.

All of this is completely normal and sensible but adding back a medicine I thought we had finished with seems like a step back. Stupid I know.

If it helps keep her off steroids it's good.

The bright side to all this is you can't dilute the powder so she had it sprinkled on ice cream.
