Her aunt was there when we arrived.

This would include how and when to administer the medications, how and when to clean the tools used to deliver the medications such as nebulizer, chamber etc. and discuss triggers and way to avoid them? We could make a short second home visit.....and have the family teach back to us before going to Dr. Hen? If we did this: would we ask that the DCF worker be there to
