A few weeks ago I shared one of the scariest moments of my entire life – the moment I almost lost my little guy because of an intense asthma attack. After nearly two years of struggling to breathe, sleepless nights & many prayers – our sweet boy received the diagnosis of asthma and honestly it was a blessing.
Now, no mom wants to hear the doctor give a diagnosis like that to their child, BUT it was a blessing because we were finally on our road to HELP. To finding answers! To experiencing a road to recovery with our little man.
Over the past few months I have done a LOT of research – including talking to our Bestie community online {thank you ALL so much for your support through this!}, as we navigate through this new life. I mentioned a few weeks ago that I had come across the BreatheSmart app by Cohero Health and wanted to give it a try for a few weeks before telling you more about it. AND OH MY GOSH! I am so excited to be working with them and to tell you all… to GET IT!
I know there are so many of you out there – my fellow asthmatic mamas – who are looking for help. Looking for a way to get us through this journey… and I couldn’t be happier with the BreatheSmart app! I am absolutely adding it to our #BestieMUSTS list today.
The BreatheSmart app was designed to help kids gradually take on more responsibility for their own care, and honestly it has even helped ME stay organized and track everything I need to, to care for Hunty. In fact, I wanted to share my top 3 personal favorite features that I have used!
#1 PERSONALIZED REMINDERS: Right after downloading the app on my phone, my favorite feature was immediately the medication reminders! I am so grateful for the daily reminder every evening that goes off and reminds us that it is time for treatment & medicine. I love that H is only 2 and he even knows what time it is when the reminder goes off!
#2 THE MEDICINE TRACKER: Sometimes my husband does his treatments & sometimes I do them, so the app has been so great for us to be able to communicate to each other using the medication tracker! Every day after H receives his medication, we are able to go into the app and simply push a button that tells us that he has taken his medicine for the day! Because of this, there is no more wondering what he needs – because it is literally right in front of us!
#3 A TRIGGER JOURNAL: One of the most helpful features on the app is the trigger journal. Often times when we meet with the doctor to go over his progress, the doctor wants to know how often he is experiencing attacks & what exactly we were doing at the time & what our surroundings were like & what his symptoms were. With the diary, we are able to keep track of the weather, our surroundings & his symptoms so we can keep a detailed journal for us & our doctors!
I am so grateful for Cohero Health providing such an incredible resource for us asthmatic mamas & our kids. As much as I dislike this disease, I am so grateful for modern medicine! I am so grateful that we have resources literally at our fingertips that can help us in our times of need. If you or your child are suffering with asthma, I encourage you to check out the BreatheSmart app on your phone! Once you try it, I would LOVE to hear what you think too!
Praying for you & your sweet children, Besties. YOU can do hard things! YOU are amazing! YOU are strong! And so are these little ones. We are all in this together! xoxo
