I think I'll edit it into the post. What a fabulous resource. Hey Rick, I think my realization was borne of desperation, actually. One day while driving home from the beach she was hacking away while ALSO sucking down a milkshake and I was so frustrated: "Does this kid have to cough EVERY TIME she has a cold drink?!?" I yelled. Oh, wait a minute. And then I knew, lol. Took a LONG time to make the connection, though. Ooh, that’s a great link–thanks! I think I’ll edit it into the post. What a fabulous resource.

I think more asthmatics and parent's of asthmatics should be encouraged to do them. I am impressed at how you deduced how your daughter responded to cold drinks. Many people would have simply decided the drink itself was the culprit, as many doctors do when a patient coincidentally becomes nauseous during a breathing treatment and the DR. decides the patient has an allergy to Albuterol so the patient can no longer use Albuterol for the rest of his life. Your way of thinking, your asthma journal, will definitely make your daughters future with asthma so much easier. I like the idea of asthma journals, however inconvenient the idea is.

There's also an online asthma diary at National Jewish Hospital. Here's the link: http://www.nationaljewish.org/disease-info/diseases/asthma/living/tools/diary/index.aspx I hope that's okay to do here... I used this a lot when I first got asthma. It helped me to think about it in an organized way. I just used on of those spiral pads in my purse. There’s also an online asthma diary at National Jewish Hospital. Here’s the link:
