Asthma Team

Anthony T. Jr.

I noticed my son Anthony Jr. had asthma at age 3 months; however the doctor insisted that children of that age could not be diagnosed as having asthma.

I would like to give you some information in writing about my son Anthony Jr.:

I noticed he had asthma at age 3 months; however the doctor insisted that children of that age could not be diagnosed as having asthma. Well at age 2 they finally called it what I thought it was. He has lived with it all this time and he does pretty good with it. After having so many emergency room visits they finally gave me a nebulizer when he was about 7, so I may have only been to an emergency room about 2 times for his asthma from that time. He is currently on Flovent, Singular, Flonase, Clarirtin and Albuterol (as needed).

He is an energetic 12 year old 7th grader. He is an aspiring Pastor, Veterinarian and Masseuse. He attends Stuart Hobson Middle School. He is a honor roll student and he loves all sports, but he really enjoys tennis and football. He was on the football team at his school last year, but after a minor injury with his foot and a 2 week break recommended from his doctor I decided to take him off the team. He is a talker and have been since he was 1 years old. He has had many speaking engagements because of his ability to articulate well. One in particular was at the age of 9 in the 4th grade when he spoke (along with his classmates) on the steps of the Lincoln memorial where they recited the "I Have Dream" speech. He made the news and his picture and story was featured in the Washington Post.
