wow Beema, not at all bombarded, very grateful that u have taken the time to type all that thanks so much
I cant believe what u have been through with ur dd, and i hope that things improve with her.

We let her play with the puffer, spacer and mask on her play mat, so she can explore them herself
We practice using the mask on teddy
When we do put the mask we encourage her to put her face to the mask rather than us putting it to her face (that will take time, but we found it worked better once she had played with it all)
We do count to 10 for each puff (which should cover the 6 breathes they need to take to get each dosage out of the puffer), count out aloud, clearly, and celebrate once you reach 10 each time and give a break if bub is a little distressed.
They are great suggestions, and i think i will ask my other kids to participate in them as well, if he sees them using the mask, he will want to as well, he very much likes to cpoy his big brother and sisters.
I think also it would help the others to learn in case he has an attack and i cant get there soon enough, of course they wouldnt give the puffs, but an help get it ready and help calm him down.

The dr didnt do any tests, just said to come back when he has another attack.

mum1984, i thought u explained this very well for me, so thankyou.
He may feel sleepy because he is fighting for every breath and is exhausted from that combined with the lack of oxygen.
He was ok today, his breathing was almost normal, but he is still wheezing, my mum is still worried about scaring on his lungs, we are thinking about seeing my mums dr and asking his opinion about what to do next.
