Hugs to you and MJ, that must have been really scary, I had/have asthma and had it from when i was young!! My mum is also a nurse and i think when its your own, your not a nurse any more your a mum, so dont beat yourself up about that. I hope she is ok now. For me, it was very manageable, although quite bad at times, as long as i took my meds i was fine! Big hugs to you.
