Dear Wishfull,

Here is some good information on asthma.

Please take asthma very seriously.

On March 23 I had an acute asthma attack and my daughter found me unconscious on the couch and my face she said was blue.

The paramedics came and took me to the ER. I was in ICU for 2 days and on the telemetry floor for 2 days. The last day I was on the medical floor.

I asked my doctor 'What happened to me"
He said, "you must have had a cold a few weeks ago and your chest started tightening up."
I said " you mean asthma?"
He said, " yes, you had an asthma attack, you almost died."

I don't mean to scare you. I knew I was wheezing but I never really had a problem with asthma.
I made sure my kids had their breathers but as a mom I didn't take care of myself.
It almost killed me, when I was unconscious I inhaled sputum into my lungs and got aspiration pneumonia.
