We are COMBATING ASTHMA at ASTHMA BOOT CAMP!!












This past week I served as Staff Nurse at Camp Wheeze Away! This camp is for children suffering from asthma put on by the American Lung Association. I had so much fun!! Even though I am not as young as the campers I too suffer from Asthma and enjoyed being a kid again! From morning meds to tug a war in the big field....we were on a mission to Combat Asthma! This camp is so important to our youth suffering with this disease. They were taught how to clean and take care of their equipment, know what triggers their asthma and that Doctors and Nurses are their friends. I can't wait to help next year!!
