Amelia

Saturday Amelia was coughing quite a bit.  Saturday night she (and I) were up most of the night with her coughing and wheezing.  Sunday I brought her to Urgent Care.  They did a chest x-ray and diagnosed pneumonia.  They also did two nebulizer treatments to try to open up her lungs.  They sent me home with antibiotics and an inhaler.  Monday she went back to the doctor to check on progress.  He didn't like that she was stilling wheezing and having rapid breathing, so he put her on prednisone and gave us a nebulizer to bring home.

So she's spent the week on a nebulizer 3 times a day, steroids, and antibiotics.  She's been very full of energy due to the steroids and on an emotional roller coaster.  She's still not 100%, hopefully she'll get a chance to rest more this weekend.
