Race For The Cure

The Race for the Cure is going to be our new yearly family tradition. We had fun and I was impressed on how many people were there. Only next year I will not do a boutique at my house on the same morning. A little Crazy!!

I did have an asthma attack about 1 mile into it. Let me tell you the story: I have been sick now for over 3 weeks with a cold, really bad cough and also some kind of asthma. I have never had asthma before and it actually started about 1 week before I got sick. The severe night coughing has made it worse and I have had a few times were I have actually struggled to breath. Luckily, Colton was given an inhaler about a year ago when they though he might have pneumonia. So I had that to help me through some rough nights. Derek had been telling me that I NEEDED to go to the Dr. and that this was not normal. So after the race on Saturday I new that it was time to go see the Doctor. Monday I went in, and sure enough I was diagnosed with Pertussis (Whooping Cough) and was put on a Z-pack. I do also have some type of asthma (exercise induced or Adult onset) which he did prescribe an inhaler for. In 4 weeks when I am healthy I will go to the hospital for a lung examination to determine what kind of asthma I have. Hopefully it is nothing permanent. I hope to be feeling much better by the end of this week!
