Teresa - sorry to hear that Hamish is sick. I wish him a speedy recovery. It sounds very similar to what Fraser has - he coughs a bit through the day but it's really bad at night. I'm having problems giving him the ventolin - how does Hamish do with it? Fraser won't let the spacer near him, but he does like to take a puff from the inhaler, but laughs when he does it and it comes back out of his mouth! I scrubbed his room within an inch of it's life and have been leaving his window open too but not seeing any benefit from it as yet and he's been on it a week.
