Boy to spend life at sea in search of asthma cure

AN ITALIAN couple driven to desperation by their six-year-old son�s acute form of asthma set sail with him yesterday on a home-made boat in the hope that living permanently at sea will help to cure him.
Paolo and Paola Frascisco, from Bellinzago, near Novara in northern Italy, said that the vessel offered the only hope for their son Niky. It was launched at the port of Cremona on the River Po, and will head for the Aeolian Islands near Sicily, where the family will live on the boat.

Thats so sad. Lets just hope the kid gets better. I know what thats like. My younger brother battled asthma when he was little. Thank God that now that he's an adult he doesn't get it anymore. But I remember many a time me and my mother had to go to the emergency room when we were kids.

I had a bad asthma attack when I was about 7, thankfully it was only a one time thing, it's not permanent.
