47 Weeks

Cameron Leigh is 47 Weeks Old!

Oh what a week!  Here's how it went down:

Tuesday:  As I mentioned last week, Cami had a follow up appointment at the pediatrician's for her ear infection.  I thought she still had it because she was overly fussy lately, plus she had a cold I wanted to ask about.  Well her ears looked great...however when the Dr. listened to her lungs, she could tell Cami was very clogged up and struggling to breathe.  She was diagnosed with bronchiolitis and we were given a nebulizer!  To me it looks and sounds like a small air compressor.  You attach a breathing mask with liquid medicine to it and it puts out a fine mist.  I was instructed to use it every 4-6 hours for about 7 minutes until the cough stops...could be 5-10 days.  Let me tell you it is quite interesting trying to get an almost 11 month old to sit still for 7 minutes.  After one treatment at the office the Dr. said she sounded a lot better. 

Around 7pm I started to get Cami's last bottle ready and she's playing on the ground when I hear her coughing a lot.  I look over and she has thrown up a small puddle.  Great.  I pick her up and try and wrestle the dogs outside so they don't eat it.  As I'm trying to this Cami starts projectile vomiting EVERYWHERE...the floor, the wall, the table, the couch, the dog, ME...you name it, she got it.  After this she seemed fine and went to bed without a problem.  I figured she had some mucous build up and was just clearing her system.

Wednesday:  I started Cami's day off with a nebulizer treatment and she seemed to be feeling fine after last nights incident so we took her to school...with her new machine and medicine.  I get a call around 3pm saying she had vomited at school and needed to be picked up ASAP.  When I got there, she seemed fine and the teacher said we could come back the next day.  She was herself all evening an had no issues.

Thursday:  Again, Cami seemed fine in the morning so back to school she went.  Sadly I got a call a 8am saying Cami had vomited...again...and I would have to pick her up...again.  Oh and by the way, she can't come back tomorrow.  Awesome.  This is when grandma came to the rescue.  My mom graciously offered to watch Cami for the rest of Thursday and Friday so I could work.

Cami didn't have any more incidents the rest of the week and is coughing a lot less now.  I think it definitely took until Saturday or Sunday for her to stop consistently coughing.  She took a lot of good naps over the past 4 days so I just think her body needed a lot of R&R to recover from the bronchiolitis and apparent stomach bug.  Hopefully this week will be a lot less eventful.
