My daughter's first Sax Solo

[Cetawin]

Thank you all so much. I will show Chy the thread when she get home from school today. I am so much the "proud mama" it will take me a couple days to come down off this cloud. I have a couple programs from last night that has her named printed in them as a soloist. I am hanging on to them and will make a scrapbook page with one and something for her with the other.


MissPrissy - you need to talk to that band teacher and explain the need for horns and such.

Cheyenne suffers in the summer when it is real hot or high humidity. We are working on that though...spending time doing things to exercise her lungs and such outside. She is making strides in dealing with it. Having been severely asthmatic as a child myself...I learned to control my breathing and played sports in school and such. So, I have never treated Chy like a more fragile child because of her asthma or told her she could not do something. I encourage her to DO but taught her to keep her inhaler with her at all times and use it when she has too. It drives me nuts to see parents coddle a child because of the asthma rather than encouraging the child to work with it and work on improvement.

I am looking for some really cool carrying case for her inhaler that she can stick it in and wear over her shoulders or attach it to her waist or something. Rather than her carring it in her hand and having to sit it down on the stands or hand it to the teacher when she is engaged in sports and stuff.

Got any ideas on that one?

Cheyenne, you are the greatest! Way to go girl!

Smart, pretty and talented, what a combination in a young old soul!


LadyHawk, what about a really cool beaded case similar to a cellphone case, that can be tied or clipped on? Or a necklace pouch? Or even a variety of holders, so Cheyenne can trade them out depending upon upcoming activities? Might even start a new fashion trend!

 

[Cetawin]

That is a great idea (and not like I cannot bead it) hmmm now I must think about this. Great idea!

This makes me happy!!!! I'm a woodwind player too!

WriterofWords - Chy said to tell you she is sorry about Nugget passing...she cried when I told her and said a prayer for him. She asked me to tell you that Nugget and his adventures always made her and her classmates smile. She re-told his avdentures and stories to her class each time you posted one.

I showed Cheyenne this thread and the comments on the Delaware thread and she said "Oh Mom....did you have to post about it everywhere?" I replied with "Of course"

She said thank you to all of you.

They have band in high school, right now is orchestra.

Fall the worst time for us. I know it as sure as the sun will rise that she will have issues. I am learning to anticipate them and know that a trip to the doctor is an ASAP thing.

Has the doctor considered Advair for her? Cheyenne's "sudden attacks" seasonally have been greatly diminshed since she went on that as a daily preventative, it has been about 16 months that she has been on it. But we have her rescue inhalers and her nebulizer as well. I also (much to Chy's dismay and disappointment) cut all sodas and chocolate out of her diet...that has helped as well. Chocolate and caffeine were definite triggers.

Great Job ! That will help strengthen her lungs. My husband has chemical induced asthma and he often does different breathing exercises to help.
