thankful for albuterol

as many of you will remember, last winter was a hard one for us.  every time elise caught a cold, she battled her newly-diagnosed asthma as well.  nebulizers and eventually inhalers became a constant in our house.  we have tried homeopathic herbs most every day since last winter to help build up her immune system in hopes that this winter would be different.  just last week, she got a cold, and sure enough her asthma returned.  thankfully though, it was mild and only required her inhalers for a short time.  i thank God that we have them.  though i'm not a medicinal person for many things, i am quite grateful we have these and grateful God has humbled me enough to use them.  my heart would break listening to her get into coughing fits in her sleep that she couldn't get out of.  and then just yesterday, isaac also came down with the same cold.  he also had an ER trip last winter for wheezing, and was also prescribed an inhaler.  just this morning, his wheezing returned as well.  he's had his inhaler twice this morning, and i stand amazed at the instant change in his breathing even after one treatment.  Jesus, thank You for medicines like this.  Thank You for working in my heart and relieving the anxiety i was already starting to feel thinking about what kind of winter this is going to be.  it's in Your hands.
