Almost 2yr old with asthma

SD

My daughter had a severe asthma attack last night and was admitted to hospital this morning. The minute the Dr saw her he sent us up to pediatric ward and said that this is a severe asthma attack and that she will now be on maintenance meds long term. I had asthma as a child and my son, who is 10, also. Just feel so sad. And last night was the worst I've ever experienced. Anyone else dealing with this?
