New medication for kids with uncontrolled asthma
These are a few of our "empties"......no, not THOSE kind of empties! No beer bottles here! These are some of the controller inhalers/discs we have used over the years.

There are four in my family with asthma (myself and my 3 kiddos - 2 of whom are now grown.) All of us have different struggles with trying to control our asthma over the years. So, we have tried almost every asthma medication that is on the market. In fact, when we saw a TV commercial for an asthma medicine, I asked daughter Kitty, "Hey - you had that one once, didn't you?"
