The Asthma Girl

As if the Teenage Years Weren't Hard Enough.

Things have Been Crazy Here! November 5, 2009

First, I had the flu. Yes, the swine flu. It wasn’t too bad because we caught it in the first 12 hours. My little brother had it first so we knew exactly what to look for. My asthma acted up for about a week and a half. I did treatments about every 2 hours and didn’t really sleep. It could have been a lot worse though, so I’m not complaining.

Second, I was in a play. We had shows Thursday through Saturday. It went really well!

Third, I guess this was almost two weeks ago, but we were the family chair for an ALA event. It went extremely well and was very exciting.

Next, I’m in a musical that opens in December so we have had rehearsals a LOT.

My brother has had baseball almost every night.

Halloween was a crazy day, but SO much fun!  I had a show, cast party, then musical rehearsal, got ready for the night, went trick or treating, went to a party, spent the night at a friends. : )

 

That’s just a small update. I have been too busy to sit down and write in detail. Once I get caught up with my online schoolwork, I will start writing every night.

 

Here Goes Nothing; October 23, 2009

Hello! I’m the Asthma Girl. I’m not the best writer and I can’t spell to save my life, so bare with me. I may not always, or ever for that matter, make sense, but I mean well. I have silently read asthma blogs but have yet to find one written by a child or a teen. One that talks about the struggles with high school (or, in my case, homeschooling), friends, family, dating, and following your heart while dealing with asthma. I’m 15 and know just how hard living with breathing problems can be. I have asthma, vocal cord dysfunction (VCD), allergies to many things (including dust mites, molds, grasses, etc), sinus issues, acid reflex, etc. If I can help one person to realize that they are not alone, this blog will be well worth it.
