Well, after a week and a half of being totally down and out, I am finally starting to feel better! I was home sick with bronchitis and a sinus infection, which of course flared up my asthma to pretty much out of control. And since I am a lovely 31 weeks pregnant, the strongest meds I can take are tylenol and amoxicillian. Doesn't quite do the trick. I am able to use my nebulizer for the asthma, but again with mild medication in it...
So yesterday morning, my sweet, but oh so stressed out husband decided to do a little research on reflexology and try to get me an appointment somewhere. He called a spa downtown where I had a gift certificate and spoke to them about treatments to help a very pregnant lady with severe asthma. They told me to come in yesterday afternoon!
Well, needless to say, it was amazing! I am not cured, I don't want anyone to think I am that crazy! But, I feel soooooo much better. I can breathe, I can have a short conversation without hacking up a lung, and I don't lose my breath walking from the family room to the kitchen! I am still coughing, but the episodes are lasting about 1 minute or less as a opposed to 20 minutes.
I have another appointment in 2 weeks and I can't wait! Imagine a foot massage that helps you breathe better! WOW!

Thank goodness Erin is feeling better. I consider myself a pretty good guy, but my patience and limits were tested to their maximum these past days. Reflexology is KING, and always has been as far as I am concerned!
