Asthma and Childhood
This Asthma and Childhood news will hold you spellbound
When it comes down to it, the police and medical community are there to help us in our most frantic time of need. Here is a story about an asthmatic child and a paniced mother.
I have to share this asthma and childhood news with you because it brought tears of joy to my eyes... but most importantly, it also showed me how vulnerable our little babies are with asthma.
I read the asthma and childhood news from Newsday.com.

A Stuffolk Seventh Precinct Officer's speed and determination saved little baby Amee (just 10-month old) from the monstrous hands of death because of her asthmatic condition.
This officer, by the name of James Skidmore, responded to the frantic 911 call from baby Amee's mother.
On seeing little baby Amee, he knew instinctively that they had precious minutes to get baby Amee to the hospital from the family’s Mastic home, just before 4 a.m, or she would be dead.
With their lights and sirens blaring, Skidmore and his partner drove as fast as they could to the hospital. While they were driving, Skidmore didn't just leave little baby Amee to herself, but tenderly cradled her in the baby seat, pumped on her chest and blew air gently to her mouth... all to help keep her alive until they get to the hospital.
I am so sure the tenderness that Skidmore exhibited got to little Amee and she let out a yelp and kicked her legs as she regained her breath... just as they neared the Brookhaven Memorial Hospital, Medical center in East Patchogue.
If you think 7 minutes is a very short time, it will amaze you to know that it took just these 7 minutes to bring little baby Amee to the hospital where she was stabilized and kept alive.
What happened to little baby Amee was an asthmatic attack. If Skidmore and his partner had not responded as quickly (and tenderly) as they did, little baby Amee would obviously have died.
This asthma and childhood news shows you what happens to many little children who suffer from asthma. One interesting statistic there are many more asthma boy child sufferers than girls.
It is very necessary for parents to continue working to prevent their children from getting asthmatic attacks. Get out free report on how to eliminate asthma and allergy triggers in your home

Asthma and Childhood
- Anti-Leukotrienes -- A recently developed class of non-steroidal asthma drugs which can prevent or reduce inflammation of the airways. Anti-leukotrienes fall into one of two categories: inhibitors or antagonists (blockers.) Leukotriene inhibitors (Accolate) prevent leukotriene creation, while antagonists (Singulair) block the leukotriene receptors that mediate airway hyperreaction, mucus production and bronchoconstriction. By either preventing or getting in the way of the inflammatory reaction, anti-leukotrienes may reduce or eliminate the need for corticosteroids. They are taken orally, usually once or twice daily. More on anti-leukotrienes.
- Dry Powder Inhaler -- Similar to an MDI in that it delivers a precisely-measured dose of medicine into the lungs, however it is the patient's inhalation that triggers the medicine's release rather than the press of the canister. The medicine itself is in the form of a dry powder; currently Intal is available in the US in this form.
- Pediapred -- Pediatric formulation of prednisolone. It comes in both syrup (clear) and liquid (cloudy) form. May be more easily tolerated by children that other formulations, which can cause vomiting.
