That has been our life the past 10 days!
We ended up taking Ella back to the Doctor last Monday. As her cough was really not getting better at all and actually getting worse. So I called first thing Monday morning and brought her in. The Doctor listened to her lungs for like 3 minutes straight (which felt like an eternity trying to keep Ella quiet and calm). She FREAKS out at the Doctor's office. Does NOT like it. So he listens to her lungs and says..."well she has pneumonia." He did however say thankfully it was caught early and she wasn't going to be hospitalized for it. He put her on an antibiotic and said she had to be at home for 48 hours. Oh just great! So I took her to get the prescription filled....and she got to pick out a whole pack of stickers for being a good girl (well kind of a good girl) at the Doctors. Josh took the rest of Monday off and Tuesday off to stay home with her. I brought her back to the Doctor this past Monday for a follow-up visit. Everything was good. Her lungs cleared up. We have started her on an allergy medication regimen. So now she gets Zyrtec everyday. That is something we are going to have to do for Spring and Fall as apparently she is going to have allergies in the spring and fall as that is when the complications start up for her.
Last Monday I started out in the afternoon with a slightest cough....it slowly progressed over the next few days. By Thursday I was hoarse. And Saturday night I couldn't take it anymore. I went to a walk-in Doctor's clinic as it's hard for me to take off during the week to go to the Doctors. I got told...sure enough you have bronchitis. So I started my antibiotic regimen. Today was my last day of it. However, I'm not quite sure it worked. I am coughing almost just as much as before! We'll see how the next few days go!
Ella has discovered that the top comes off of her table and it turns into a LEGO TABLE!
It's her new favorite toy. She keeps says, "Daddy wanna play Lego's with me??" How can you resist that?
Well I am ready to go read a chapter in my book and call it a night. I'm so tired! I've been so sleep deprived these past few weeks! Lots of coughing in our house!
