Sick Catherine : (

Just an update from when I took Catherine to her "15-month Well-Child" check-up Monday, March 22nd (a little belatedly since she is now 16-months): after being nearly continuously sick since November, our pediatrician thinks she might have either bad allergies or possibly asthma. : ( The asthma is a possibility especially since she struggles with eczema and also since there is a family history (Greg had childhood asthma.) So, she put her on two different medicines, plus a third med to use in a nebulizer to give her breathing treatments. She hates those (although has gotten more used to it) and the first time we had to do a breathing treatment that day in the doctor's office it was terrible for both of us - it made me want to cry to have to pin her to get the mask on her face and make it stay on. : ( I have since discontinued its use, but will probably have to start it up again since she seems to have her cough back in her chest and lungs. She hasn't gained any weight either and has actually lost a few ounces too despite being a pretty good eater. The doctor thinks she is using all of her calories to get better! : ( Poor little bug. She is such a good sport about it all though.
