�As the school bells get
ready to ringing, parents and other caregivers of children who have asthma
should prepare for a possible peak in asthma episodes (also known as
attacks or exacerbations). According to the American Lung Association of
the Upper Midwest, the superlative number of asthma hospitalizations occurs in
the fall, usually September.
The hang increase may be caused by respiratory infections, increased
pollen, and outdoor mold counts. Children going back to school day also get
more contact with other children in an indoor environment, possibly
increasing their exposure to viral and bacterial respiratory infections
which can lead to an asthma episode.
"Parents and guardians hind end prepare for this possible increase in asthma
episodes by scheduling a 'well-asthma' visit with the child's asthma
provider," said Harold Wimmer, CEO of the American Lung Association of the
Upper Midwest. "At this visit, health aid providers should review or
develop an Asthma Action Plan for the child."
According to the Lung Association, parents and guardians should:
-- Obtain an up-do-date Asthma Action Plan from the health upkeep
provider and forward copies to the school wellness office and/or childcare
provider.
-- Ensure the minor has rescue medications (often called ventolin) and
holding chambers (too called spacers) available at home and
school/childcare. Make sure rescue medication inhalers are not outdated or
empty.
-- Ensure the child has access to his/her asthma medications and knows
how to use them.
-- Reduce exposure to things that could trigger an asthma attack such
as allergens and secondhand roll of tobacco.
-- Schedule an grippe vaccine appointment when the vaccine is
available.
-- Teach children to wash their hands frequently with soap and water
both at home and school.
Children whose asthma is well-controlled can participate in all
activities just like anyone else, including sports, gym and other aerophilic
type activities by following an Asthma Action Plan and providers'
instructions. Signs that a child's bronchial asthma is well-controlled include:
-- Ability to participate in all physical activities without developing
bronchial asthma symptoms.
-- Sleeping through the night without episodes of cough and
wheezing.
-- No missed school days due to asthma attack or other respiratory illnesses.
-- No emergency room, urgent maintenance or unscheduled provider office
visits.
If your child is having symptoms or asthma episodes, the American Lung
Association of the Upper Midwest advises parents and caregivers to agenda
an appointment with the child's health care provider as shortly as possible to
adjudicate these issues.

Vashti Bunyan is a tribe chanteuse and singer/songwriter, charles Herbert Best known for her 1970 record album Scarcely Another Diamond Day, which was rediscovered in the twenty-first hundred and dusted cancelled with a new CD take as i of the majuscule musical finds of its eRA. Born in London in 1945 -- and numerate herself a direct descendant of writer/preacher John Bunyan (1629-1688) -- she number one gear took up the guitar piece a pupil at the Ruskin School of Fine Art and Drawing, from which she was at long utmost expelled at years 18 for outlay overly much time writing songs and non sufficiency time painting. A piece of a release sprightliness regular and then, she took a trip to New York and, while there, felled wrinkle under the spell of Bob Dylan's music, specially his record album The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan. Once back in London, Bunyan was attached to a life account in music, and through theatrical federal agent Monte Mackay she shortly met Rolling Stones manager/producer Andrew Loog Oldham. In his recollections in 2007, he power saw and heard in her the equivalent of Juliette Gréco, Marie Laforet, and Françoise Hardy, leave off that she was English -- he gestural her to Decca Records and for her debut single brought her the Mick Jagger/Keith Richards-penned "Some Things Just Stick in Your Mind." The record earned small attention, and Bunyan moved to Columbia for the followup, "Civilise Song," released in May of 1966.
She moved into the electron orbit of Oldham's Immediate Records later its founding that twelvemonth and recorded a pair of sides, mostly of her own music, none of which was issued commercially. She likewise foreshorten one side with the Twice as Much (Immediate's reply to Simon & Garfunkel), entitled "The Coldest Night of the Year." The latter, with its Phil Spector-like yield and beautiful harmonizing, showed cancelled her singing at its about pop-oriented and commercial-grade. This was during what one mightiness call the "dolly snort" stage of Bunyan's calling, in which she was parting of the Swinging London scene (at least musically), and one supremely atmospherical and hauntingly beautiful carrying out of hers that did view the promiscuous of day was "Wintertime Is Blue," which turned up in Peter Whitehead's documental Tonite Let's All Make Love In London (1967). Sometime later that, she left London in a horse-drawn station wagon on a two-year travel into communal living in the Hebrides, with the ultimate destination of encounter folk icon Donovan on the Isle of Skye. She later chanced to cross paths with American producer Joe Boyd, wHO had made his name in London recording acts such as Pink Floyd and Fairport Convention. Throughout her travels Bunyan had continued committal to writing songs, and in 1969 she teamed with Boyd to record book her debut LP, the lovely Simply Another Diamond Day, which included some assist from such British folks notables as Simon Nicol and Dave Swarbrick from Fairport Convention, and the Incredible String Band's Robin Williamson. After complementary the album she left hand for Ireland, falling stunned of music to raise a kinsperson.
Long out of mark and a extremely prized collectable, But Another Diamond Day was eventually reissued on CD in the summertime of 2000 and attracted an extraordinary sum of money of enthusiastic weigh, as well as something like the gross revenue to match. Suddenly, Bunyan was in demand, fans and writers knocking at her door and sending e-mails of encouragement and support. In 2005 she returned with Lookaftering, a reference to her geezerhood "lookaftering" her household. The record album appeared on Fat Cat's DiCristina imprint and featured art by Vashti's girl. The release was followed by a series of performances that took her all the way to New York City, among other international locales -- by that time, discussion had counterpane sufficiently about Bunyan as a rediscovered gift that the New York public presentation rated reference in The New York Times. In 2007, Fat Cat/DiCristina released Some Things Just Stick in Your Mind, a digest of Vashti Bunyan's 1960s Decca, Columbia, and Immediate recordings, plus a arrange of demos geological dating from 1964.
