Maleigha had her dr appt at 1120 with our own Dr McDreamy. He said she was still wheezy and this has obviously been going on for a while now so we need to figure out another course of action. My thoughts exactly. So he said he was sending us home with our very own Nebulizer (I am praying my insurance will cover this new addition to our family!). They had me purchase this because he said I will need it in the future and he is pretty sure this is going to occur in the Fall/Winter again next year. Neat. Anyways, I almost forgot to show him the rash that I thought was probably nothing. While he was looking at it I could tell by the look on his face it wasn't good. He told me the name of it, which I have forgotten, but basically it is broken blood vessels. He said it was from all of her coughing. He ordered a chest x-ray just to make sure there was nothing else going on and a lab test to make sure her platelet count was ok because of the broken blood vessels. She cried harder during the x-ray than she did with the lab work. The lab came back ok, although it did show a little sign of anemia so he suggested I start her on a mulit vitamin. The x-ray showed the Bronchiolitis which he is saying this nebulizer should clear up. I know getting her to keep the cute dragon mask on will be a pain, I am just glad we finally have an end in sight!!
Another sign of relief...my weigh in for today! I must admit when I stepped on the scale I was surprised to see I lost 3 pounds! For real this time! So that makes a total of 15 pounds. It is slowly coming off but I am very happy it is coming off! 5 more pounds to my first goal. I am hoping to reach that goal by the end of this month!

Oh goodness! That is aweful. Poor thing. Ethan had bronchitis too, but not for 14 days! Poor thing. I had no idea she was sick, but I will pray she gets better quickly. Her little chest must hurt. :(
