axid

maybe A is finally getting over his cold or maybe giving him some antacid (axid) in the evening helped. we are finally back (for two days now) to his regular dose of flovent (110 mg morning and evening).

irritation

since grandma left - at the beginning of June A has been in an almost constant state of irritation: not too bad, but not too good. we ended up using xopenex more often than not. I was expectign releif when we got to the beach...but we had a cold and circulated it within the family. So we did double dose of flovent and additional xopenex - as needed. Not too much but three-or four days; once or twice a day (or night). Nights have been the worse. Notthing too bad but you never know, so we were precautious.

quercetin - anti-inflamatory

Foods rich in quercetin include capers (1800 mg/kg)[9], lovage (1700 mg/kg), apples (440 mg/kg), tea (Camellia sinensis), onion, especially red onion (higher concentrations of quercetin occur in the outermost rings[10]), red grapes, citrus fruit, tomato, broccoli and other leafy green vegetables, and a number of berries including cherry, raspberry, bog whortleberry (158 mg/kg, fresh weight), lingonberry (cultivated 74 mg/kg, wild 146 mg/kg), cranberry (cultivated 83 mg/kg, wild 121 mg/kg), chokeberry (89 mg/kg), sweet rowan (85 mg/kg), rowanberry (63 mg/kg), sea buckthorn berry (62 mg/kg), crowberry (cultivated 53 mg/kg, wild 56 mg/kg),[11] and the fruit of the prickly pear cactus. A recent study found that organically grown tomatoes had 79% more quercetin than "conventionally grown".[12]source-wikipedia

xopenex again

I do not know if it is the chlorine in the pool, the dust in teh house or the ozone in the hot summer air but A needed xopenex again yesterday and this morning he woke up with a bit of a cough again. sent him to camp hopeping that he;ll get better during the day.
I am considering replacing the carpet with wood-bamboo-cork....low emission laminate (just cause it is less expensive).
