You know how I have been writing about my "fears" of RSV season approaching?! Well, she doesn't have RSV, but she did catch a bad cold. I know, I know, many have told me its a part of life and it builds her immune system etc ... but it still stinks and she is miserable. It started Tuesday night and she was up all night crying. I think mostly she is miserable because she can't suck on her binky due to not being able to breathe and that frustrates her. If she wasn't a binky baby she might sleep better. But what can I do?! Yesterday you could hear that the cold had moved into her throat as she is raspy. I am just praying it doesn't move into her lungs because that is where it gets scary. Tim also woke up this morning sick ... ARGHH ... and to think this is the first (in a while) and probably last 80 degree, sunny weekend we will have this year!!! Hopefully we can enjoy some of it!
On a side note, I did take her to the pediatrician because of the constant crying (to make sure it wasn't an ear infection) and to check on her reflux, because it has become quite worse. And we found out her zantac dose was not even therapeutic. We hadn't increased it because she seemed to be doing better at her 12mo appt. So it was doubled from 1ml 3 times a day to 2ml's. We can even go up as far as 3ml's if this doesn't work. She hasn't been cringing and choking so much so I think the zantac is starting to work though she is still spitting up which makes her congestion worse. An almost 14 month old spitting up - I thought that stopped early on (ha, ha)! Oh, and before I forget to top it off, our baby who carefully and slowly grows teeth has decided now would be a great time to bring in her top teeth. YES - a teething, sick, reflux baby! And I wonder why all she does is cry ... I just wish I could make it better!!!! Keep us in your prayers!
Oh, and on a good note. Tim has a job, not only a job, but a great job! He goes in today to meet with the owner, get his letter of employment, salary and start date!
