less than a week after a cold we have another one and ?about flu jab

Aw, sounds like you're having horrid time. The worry and anguish of having a child with asthma is hideous and v v draining.

Maddie has had flu jabs since she was one but I know they are ok from 6mths I think. As for profalatic (sp!) antibs, Maddie was on them but they really upset her tum so we have given up on them!!

She has also had several other resp things tested for such as cystic fibrosis, bronchiectasis, tb, airway deformation, and a few others (forgotten and not nr her notes but can pm if you like?) there have been many many tests. She has had bronchoscopy and ct. Also a 24 ph study to check for reflex.

I think you're a fab mummy in that you are Pre empting the winter and getting ready. Half the battle is being prepared. At least as much as you can. Asthma still takes me by storm!!

Please feel free to pm me anytime.

Loads of love,

Take care,

Hi Natasha,

Tom has had the flu jab every year since he was about two, when he was very young it was given to him in two stages, I think about a week apart. He tends to have a fever the day after the jab but apart from that he has been fine. he has also had the swine flu jab.

Tom was unofficially given a diagnosis of asthma at a young age and had had lots of tests ruling other things out since then.

I hope Martha is fighting that cold off successfully!!
