What a Week!

Where to start! This week has had it's good times and bad times. Tuesday, I took Addy to the doctor. After 2 hours we found out she had RSV, Croup, and a double ear infection. Poor girl! I'm so glad I took her in! I was thinking about waiting until Wednesday to see if it would just get better on it's own. The doctor prescribed Augmentin, for the ears, Albuterol through a breathing treatment for the Croup/RSV, and Lortab aka Vikadin, (for her ears, throat, fever, whatever pain she was feeling)! She was quite a sight after having her first round of the pain meds. You could tell they were working because she was so happy! She was spinning, singing songs, and talking lots!


We took her back Wednesday and she was doing worse, but it was the 3rd day, which is supposed to be the worst day for RSV. We just needed to keep doing what we were doing. By Friday she was improving a ton! Except she still didn't have her appetite. She was not eating or drinking well at all. I was a little worried.
Saturday, I went to my yoga class and came home to Addy coughing so hard she was throwing up. We called the doctor and they wanted us to bring her in to make sure she was improving. They weighed her when we got there and found out she had lost 2 pounds in 3 days. Besides that, she was improving! Her ears were already looking way better and her breathing was better!
Sunday, she was doing MUCH better! Her appetite was back and her cough was much, much better! Yay!


Addy and her dinosaur breathing mask!



Addy spent a lot of time in her PJ's, sleeping (2 naps a day, one of which would be 2 1/2 - 3 1/2 hours long), watching Seasame Street, reading books, and doing breathing treatments. Rough go for this little girl!

A few pictures from Sunday... first time eating dinner in 4 days! Oh, and every time she eats something she throws a fit if we forget to give her a fork. She is becoming quite the pro at using one!
