Asthma and Sleepovers

Posted on 10th | Posted by admin in Health

Jasmine was doing well when she was invited to sleep over at her friend Katelynn’s home. Jasmine’s mother didn’t know that Katelynn had a dog and a cat. At the time of the sleep over, Jasmine’s asthma was under good control. She was doing so well, in fact, that her mom forgot to tell Katelynn’s parents about her asthma and her allergy to dogs and cats.

Soon after arriving at Katelynn’s, Jasmine developed a stuffed up, runny nose and began sneezing. With three other children visiting for the evening, Katelynn’s mother didn’t think much about it. She noticed that Jasmine was sneezing quite a bit, but she knew that several school friends had been passing colds around that week.
