Reactive Airway Disease

Well we woke up yesterday with Emma coughing and wheezing-AGAIN! She woke up the morning before with a croupe sounding cough and she had to go to the dr for a re-check on her ear infection from two weeks ago so I had them look at that too. She didnt have it bad enough so they wouldnt do anything about it.
Fast Forward back to yesterday morning:
We wake up at 5 AM with her coughing really bad and wheezing so I go run a hot shower to get the steam to try to help open her lungs back up. The girls get up at 6:30 for school so I get them ready and take them. Emma is still sounding bad-maybe even worse so I call the drs office. They cant see her until at least 10:45. Its not even 8:00 right now. CRAP! What do I do now?
I decided that I could give her an albuterol treatment but if there was any inflamation then it wasnt going to do anything, she needed steroids. So I just took her to the ER-AGAIN.
Sure enough after about 5 hours and every test from Blood to Stool to Urine and X-Rays they finally diagnosed her with SOMETHING!
I have been asking them to diagnose her with Something-Anything so that I would at least know how to treat it and also how to PREVENT it from happening ALL THE TIME!
What? You may ask? Reactive Airway Disease! What is that you may ask? Well its basically Asthma without calling it asthma because she is so young they dont want to call it asthma.
We left the ER at about 12:30 with RX's for Prelone (a heavy duty steroid that turns my kid into psycho-ADD0-crazy kid) and more albuterol and instructions to give her treatments as often as she needs but was warned she is probably going to be needing them every 4-6 hours for about a week or so until the Steroids take full effect.
So in the mean time I am stuck at home, with a crazy ADD-like 2 year old who runs up and down the hallway just because she can, who I have to hold down for 20 minutes every 4-6 hours for a breathing treatment so she can actually breathe while shes running up and down the hallway making me nuts in the process.
LIFE IS GRAND! Gotta love being the Momma at times like these!
