The Ick...

Ansley had a cold around Thanksgiving that went away and then came back as a terrible cough and wheeze a week later.  I took her to the Doctor who ordered chest xrays, worried that she may have pneumonia but we luckily dodged that bullet!  Fortunately she never really ran a fever, and she was put on an antibiotic and the liquid form of Albuterol.  Unfortunately, after a week on both she wasn't any better.  Her cough was so bad that it would leave her gagging which turned into several days of throwing up...ick!  She went back for another check last Friday and since she hadn't made any progress, she was switched to breathing treatments.  She started them last Friday and her cough was pretty much gone by Sunday!  I'm so thankful that even though these treatments are a pain, she's healed up quite nicely!  


We're headed back for another doctor check this Friday in which we'll hopefully done with all forms of medicine.  She's been a trooper though, sitting for these things 3 times a day!!!
