Not that I clearly remember sleeping in a tent sheet with the steamer close by becasue I could breath, but I had to do that when I was little numerous times. Mom said I used to turn blue and she had to run up the street to the doctor's office a few times and his only treatment was a shot of adrenilan to get my heart beating faster. O/2 counts were unheard of. Doctor Bill's only other advice was put him outside he'll grow out of it. Now that I sit here writing this post I am wondering how many kids didn't because of the standard of care then. Your lucky in that respect Brian with all the great things available to us now for treatment that wasn't around iin the fifties. Where is he at the Morton?
