Sorry to hear the asthma's being so scary. I used to get colds like that as a kid and either my parents or my pediatrician didn't believe in treating them. I had a lot of scary nights "sleeping" upright. I'm so grateful that I now have a rescue inhaler, even if I only need to use it a few times a year (during a particularly bad cold or after visiting a cat's home without hitting the benadryl first). Now that you know this can happen I hope that you'll keep one up to date as well.
