Nebulizer

Well we took Ava back to the doctor on Thursday. Her cough is basically all gone! Thank goodness! Poor girl has been coughing (mostly in her sleep) for 3+ weeks. The doctor told us that this is bronciolitis most likely caused by RSV which also caused the croupy cough.

She told us Ava isn't actively contagious so as long as Ava doesn't go around licking people we should be okay :) She does have some wheezing left over and so the doctor is having us do breathing treatments 4x a day with her to help with that.

We had to wait all afternoon yesterday for Intermountain Health Care to come deliver her nebulizer. The guy went through how to use it and everything and my last question was, "so when do we return it" ummm "nope this is yours, its a purchase" OH okay... I guess our insurance won't pay for us to rent one but they will pay for us to own one.

Anyway we'll get a picture of Ava using it once we pick up the medicine that goes in it. I hope she cooperates. She gets to wear this cute little fish mask :) Cuteness aside, I just want her breathing better and feeling better. I hope when we go in next the wheezes are gone and we don't have to do a chest x-ray :(

Isaac had RSV when he was 9 months and it was awful! The breathing treatments will work in just a matter of days :) She'll be good as new in no time!
