When Kim's 12-year-old son Julious had to be rushed to the emergency room while on a field trip, the doctor told her that the ER was full of children due to a "bad air day". Julious describes his asthma as feeling like "being pushed into a locker." Kim lives in fear of not being with Julious during an attack.
