Ok..really this time we are back...

Things this week have been INSANE.  As I mentioned in the previous post, the girls are both sick and on meds.  Lauren seems to be getting better, but Kaelin is still not feeling the greatest.  She wasn't able to keep her meds down the first 3 out of 5 days of her meds. I called the doctor on Monday morning to inquire if he would like to put her on the antibiotic for a little while longer. He said he didn't want to put her on anything else without seeing her again. GRRRR.  The doctor is over an hour away and I can't just on a dime leave to go to the doctor.  I am thankful that my sister Stephanie was available both days to help me out! She didn't even hesitate and she was there to help.  Thank you so much Stephanie!!  The verdict after that appointment was that Lauren's other ear was now infected and the bronchitis had no change and was not improving so he decided to up her steroid dosage and put her on a 10 day course of antibiotics AND nebulizer treatments 3xday. 

Isn't that "Dino Mask" the cutest?!  I think it is.  Kaelin, however, HATES it!  The nurse said it was okay to detach the mask and just let the albuterol vapors just blow in her face and let her inhale.  That seems to work a little better but I end up inhaling a lot and getting jittery too.  The nurse also said it's okay to let her scream while she is doing the treatments because we know then that she is breathing the medicine in.  So we do a little bit of the mask and a little bit of me just holding it in front of her.  She seems to be doing a lot better. Still very congested and has a cough, but much better than she was on Sunday night/Monday morning.  Praying this will all clear very very soon.
