My Life With Asthma

5/28/2015

0 Comments

 
Welcome back to Taylor Talks!


Have I ever mentioned that I have asthma? Probably not, since it doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things, but I thought I would talk about it tonight.
I developed asthma when I was five years old. I ended up staying in the hospital for a week because the doctors couldn't regulate my oxygen levels. After that, I ended up taking daily medications to help control the asthma, and had to do my nebulizer at lunch every day throughout as much of elementary school as I can remember.

The asthma has gotten better over the years. I used to be on seven medications daily, but now I'm only on three. I don't need nebulizer treatments all the time, and it's rare that I even need a puff of my emergency inhaler. But every once in a while, my asthma acts up and it's really annoying. Like yesterday and today, when I keep feeling like I'm not getting a deep enough breath and a cough is making it even worse.

It might sound funny, but I used to feel like asthma was a joke, like it wasn't a real health problem. When I couldn't run a mile in the allotted time in high school, I felt like maybe I just wasn't trying hard enough; it wasn't asthma preventing me from going all out, it was just me not doing my best because I was lazy. But I was wrong, and it was asthma that was keeping me from going all out. When I don't feel like doing my nebulizer, and my mom tells that I need to do it, deep down I know that she's right.

You know what's even crazier than me having this weird relationship with my asthma? Both of my little sisters have it too. We're not biologically related, but the twins and I have the same birthdays and all deal with this awful sickness. It may not seem like much, but it's weird how many similar characteristics are shared in my family. I'll have to talk more about that on another day.

I'm only seven people away from hitting 100 likes on my Facebook author page! I'd really love it if you would support my writing career by taking a few seconds and liking the page yourself. Thanks so much!

I’d greatly appreciate it if you would share this blog with friends and family through your favorite social media sites. If you’re sharing on Twitter, don’t forget to tag me (

Thanks!
Taylor

    My family started doing foster care when I was three years old. We took in nineteen children over the course of eighteen years, with our last placement leaving in December 2014. I'm the only biological child in my family, though my parents adopted five of my siblings.

    I love to share my perspective on the foster care system and share how my unique upbringing shaped my life.

    I'm also a Cast Member at Walt Disney World and lover of all things Disney! My career allows me the opportunity to find a little bit of Magic in life every day.


    I enjoy sharing my journey as a writer as well. Find my children's books on Amazon and keep following my blog for updates on future books that I'll be releasing!
