As you might have read, Grendel started some new asthma medication little more than a week ago.  Thus far, he's doing well and has had no adverse side effects from it.  He's not entirely fond of using the inhaler twice per day, but he's never difficult to handle and takes it in stride (just as he always has with the pill steroid).  If he continues to do well on the new medication, I should be able to start backing him off of the pill in another week or so.  Here's hoping things go as planned.
