As you might recall from several previous posts (here, here, here and here), Grendel has been on a new asthma medication for several months.  I'm pleased to report that it's been a great experience all around.  He's lost some of the extra weight he had been carrying because of the steroids, and he has a lot more energy.  Most important, however, is the fact that he's not had any more significant problem with his asthma than he had on the original steroids.  He has an attack now and then (for which he has an emergency inhaler), but they've been no more frequent than they were before.  I'm thrilled that he's not on the other medication now and that the new medication has been such an improvement for him.
