The good news is that our first full day home as a whole family was spent with friends at the Phoenix Zoo. We had a great time! I will post pictures when I get to them (probably in a few days). We learned that Riley is a very independent little girl, wanting to run everywhere herself. She also DOES NOT like the goats in the petting zoo. (Daddy was very proud as he hates petting zoos...they are too dirty for him!)
The bad news is that on Friday night Bree started this weird coughing thing. Neither of us slept very much because every twenty minutes it sounded like she had something go down the wrong tube and she was trying to cough it up. Up until this evening we thought it was just from her acid reflux. However, this evening it started to sound very tight and after a quick listen to her lungs with a stethoscope (and hearing crackling in her lower left lung) I made a call to the on call doctor for our pediatrician. After a quick talk with Dr. Malik, she prescribed some albuetrol treatments with the nebulizer. We are suppose to give them every four hours, so we gave one at 6, and will continue at 10, 2, and 6.
If Bree does not get better, or get relief with these treatments we will be taking her back into the ER at PCH.
Some more bad news is that Riley is cutting her first molar and is having a hard time of it. We have kept her "tylenoled" up,but everytime I get a chance to peek in her mouth that poor little gum is swollen and bleeding with a bit of tooth poking through.
Please pray for Bree's healing of her lungs so that she does not get any worse, for Riley's easement of pain, and for our sanity and clarity of mind so that we can both be there for our girls as much as possible.
Hop this finds everyone happy, healthy, and in love with life!
