When Xavier was about six months old, he caught a really bad bug that got into his lungs and definitely has impacted his breathing ever since. A couple of weeks ago Science Daily had a good article on bronchiolitis and pre-disposition to asthma (available
here). This has now progressed into what we believe is asthma, so about four times a day we have to load him up with
albutirol, which is an inhaled steroid. God forbid he ever becomes a major league baseball player. As he has gotten older it has become easier to administer but now he is also way more active so it kind of a double edged sword.
