Proud Boy Crushing It At Surfer's Healing

This is my amazing 14 year old autistic son. He and I both have asthma that has more than once put us in the hospital, but through it all he's been amazing - never letting his asthma or mine stop us from doing anything and everything!!

Hi Kathy p. - we usually use a preventative for the week before and make sure that we don't stay in the cold too long. Often though we do end up having to do a treatment after we get home dur to the cold.

Way to shred dude! How do you manage your asthma when in the water? I've had issues when I was really short of breath trying to paddle out even if I pretreated prior to grabbing the board.

Yay! He looks like he's ready to have fun!

Are you guys involved in raising awareness for asthma? AAFA has some great shareable images ... You can help Spread Awareness About Asthma and Allergies in One Click!

And we'd love to hear what you hear when you tell others that you and your son have asthma ... we've got a new discussion going on about the various reactions people can have when they hear that for the first time.
