I don't know why I photographed Maddie on her nebulizer ~ it makes me crying-sad to look at her like this. Her cough was getting worse instead of better, so the doctor wanted to see her yesterday. So far as we know, she doesn't have bronchitis, bronchiolitis, or pneumonia, but her wheeze was enough that Dr. J (Dr. H was busy) wants her to do albuterol every 4 to 6 hours and see us again on Monday. My stupid butt spent a few moments on Google last night looking at possible side effects of albuterol and I don't want to give it to her, but I want her to get better. It just makes me want to cry (which, by the way, I am currently doing). She smiles at me through the little mask and it breaks my heart; all I can think is 'Please, God, don't let this stuff hurt her'. Ahhh, I need to think happy thoughts...
Nice things this past week:
1.) She is 'talking' a lot...a regular little chatterbox!
2.) She has realized that she can hold her hands together which makes her look like she's praying!
3.) She has slept through the night almost all week!
4.) She's a kicking machine! She'll even move so that she can kick me ~ much more fun than kicking at air.
5.) She loves to sit up ~ with my help, of course. She tries so hard to do it by herself, but she can't get it quite yet. Sometimes she pushes so hard to move her upper body that she farts, which always cracks me up. I don't care how old I am...farts are funny :)
My parents also got us all plane tickets to go to Barbourville, KY to visit my beautiful Grandparents. It's been a couple years and I can't wait to see them. I can't wait for Maddie to meet them!
XOXO
