If you've followed my blog for any amount of time, you probably already know that Miss Piper's (and my) life is ruled by asthma. It is pervasive, like any genetic health problem, and one that is sometimes really craptastic to deal with. Case in point: This photo was taken by a dear friend on Christmas night. New dolly-check! New jammies-check! Meds every 2 hours so she can breathe and we won't have to visit an ER on Christmas night-double check!
Asthma just never seems to take a day off, the damn bastard.....
I was delighted when my mom told me about this camp that she had heard about, specifically for kiddos with asthma. Aptly named, Camp Not-A-Wheeze. See, she would NEVER be able to attend a normal summer camp. Most kids with a serious health condition can't, unfortunately. At least, not without their momma right be their side.
Which, for a kid, can sometimes be a bummer. I am cool as hell. Just not so cool to my 7 year old, who is voraciously seeking a little independence. I am hoping she can go this year, but if not will start the process so that she will for SURE be there next year.
And then momma can get a MUCH NEEDED week off.

Oh I have such a feeling for your little girl. Our Mirthe is also asthmatic, but not as worse as you daughter.
What a great pictures of your fabricsplace :)
Greetings from Holland, Chantal
Aw, Jen...Quite the eventful past few months. Deep breath. And another. (If only it were that easy for Miss Piper). I hate asthma. Asthma sucks rocks.
XOXO -N.
