All things considered...


Here fishie fishie...

She must be feeling better...


We really are doin' just fine...I think we have finally figured out the source of Ry's cough...its about time since it has lasted almost THREE MONTHS!!!...For the first 4 appointments, we were told it was just a "common cold" that is normal and she would have to "let it run its course"...I have heard those phrases so many times that they should be given US patents, hence the quotation marks...We have been in and out of the doc's office and urgent care and all we have ever heard is "common cold, let it run its course, etc."...I am sick of it...

So, we started the month of December off at the doctor's office and we were told she had bronchitis and since she is so young there were no remidies other than vaporizers, saline drops, steam showers yada yada yada...Well, we have been doing that since October and the common cold is still living with us...So, we were back Dec. 12 b/c a wheezing breath had set in...FINALLY, the doctor gave us something for her...Now, I am not an advocate for pushing meds on my innocent baby but I'll tell you, she needs something for a three month old cough!!!...In the end she was given antibiotics for an ear infection and a nebulizer for breathing treatments 3 times a day...Thankfully a week into the new meds have been great for her, the wheezing is gone and she is getting so much better!...I am very thankful that she is getting better and hopefully she will be in full party mode for Christmas Eve...

Poor baby! BTW, nice shot of the "Warning!" label on the Bumbo as you have her perched on the table...!!!

I am so glad that she is starting to feel better. Poor thing having to be sick for THREE months. I'm really glad that you stuck to your guns and kept taking her back to the doctor.

She's still cute as a button...even when she's not feeling up to par!
