At the Doctor’s Monday
The dust storms of West Texas have wreaked havoc at the Prather household. After Friday mornings feeding at 2:30am I noticed Caroline was starting to cough and wheeze. All of sudden she spit up everything in her small stomach. It was surprising the amount of liquid she can hold! I called the doctor Friday afternoon because RSV is going around. They told me: Humidifier, Saline, & Blue Bulb Syringe is only thing we could do for her stuffy nose.They said if it wasn't better by Monday to bring her in. She battled this mucus stuff all weekend.
We discovered Caroline's mortal enemy is the blue bulb syringe. She is pretty much a content baby except when that syringe comes out.
We will say her lungs DO NOT match her size.
- First thing is she weighs 5lbs 6 oz!
- She does not have RSV or allergies.
- The dust in the air is causing her mucus
- She peed all over the doctor's table
- We love our pediatrician! Dr. Karen Soriano highly recommended
Poor little baby! Sam has been sleeping with a humidifier since forever! Do you guys have to change your air filters all the time b/c of the dust? That is one thing I DO NOT miss about West Texas.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry about this weekend, I hate that I'm sick and I especially hate that I can't see y'all! Take care!
