nebulizer

so my nebulizer shot the smurfs (we are using mom's which she doesn't use anymore) but I would still like to get a new one. Is there a brand that is better than the other?

not for another 2 years. Or 3 years...can't remember but I know it is a 5 year thing on my stupid insurance.  

I would just research on the internet or ask your doctor for a suggestion of what brand they recommend.

I forgot the brand my son has, I will look tonight and let you know

Without checking the name, I'm pretty sure that is the one we have. (it looks just like it lol) We got it from the hospital and they charged us ALOT more than it is listed for online...go figure. I really like it. It comes with its own carrying bag and is small enough that we can also put it in a small back pack to bring to and from daycare between my sons dad house and my house. It has been dropped multiple times and still works very well. lol suprisingly. His treatment is finished in about 7 minutes with this type of machine. I was actually looking online a few weeks ago because I was thinking about getting my son a new machine. My doc said if ours is still working it is just fine rather than shelling out a bunch of money for one that may be faster, quieter, or lighter. I also recently went on this hard core cleaning spree, buying filters for the vents in our house, getting our ducts cleaned in the house, buying new air purifiers for the house... My son always struggles more with his asthma in the fall and winter.   poor baby
This is the air purifier I got, its as close to hospital grade as they get. I absolutely love it. http://www.natlallergy.com/cat/11/austin-air-purifiers.html

I love that website. You can get http://www.natlallergy.com/prod/1140/dustchek-vent-filtration-kit-register-filters.html to go over the vent in your kiddos room to help decrease the amount of dust and other air pollutants from going into your childs room.

hope this helps lol  

We alredy have a gah I can't think of what it is called, but it is a Super allergy air filter for the heater, can't really afford another air thing since it is she is just sick alot with the weather changes and anytime she gets a old or anything else she wheezes. especially since I'm trying to live off of 8.25 an hour and then paying a babysitter 6 dollars an hour.

aw my son has that same problem. I feel so bad for them. It must be so hard for little ones because they do not understand why they cannot breathe   I struggled with asthma when i was my sons age as well and since my mother made sure I was getting my treatments as I should now I do not have to take "treatment" every day. I am so thankful that she did that for me. So you are doing the right thing for your baby girl and it will pay off in the long run  

Well kudos to you for putting your girls health first. The allergy clinic my son and i go to have extra nebulizers that people have donated that they rent out or give to people that are unable to afford their own. You could contact local hospitals, ask government assistance, or local allergy/asthma clinics and see if any of them would be able to help you with that. You could also ask if they have an air-purifier to borrow or have that someone has donated. Does government assistance or insurance cover the nebulizer or a air purifier? I'm not sure if you get assistance or what type of insurance you have but I would contact all of the place I suggested to see what they have to offer or what they can do to help. Sorry that is a lot of random suggestions but I hope one of those avenues works out for you

My insurance paid for one 2 years ago so they won't pay for another one for 3 years...it is stupid seeing as the one we had only had a 2 year warranty on it. I found one for 40 bucks so as soon as I get my tax return in I'm buying like 2 of them.
