Abby's Visit to Dr. Cramer

Abby's has been sick more than healthy since mid December, and she has a nasty cough right now. So, I took her in to see the doctor. He examined her and said that she has "Baby Asthma" and another ear infection in her right ear. She had a breathing treatment while we were there that she did not like. She screamed and tried to suck on it and got even more flustered when nothing good came out of the tube but mist. Now she is on Amoxiclin and a baby inhaler for a few weeks until her cough gets better.
They did weigh her and she now ways 19.5 lbs. Good thing I already bought her a new car seat.

Poor Abby, and poor mommy! That stinks, but she will get used to the breathing treatments. I had a 2 year old pt with that the other day and he was pro, he even liked them because he knew it would help. Hang in there!

That doesn't sound like fun! Hopefully the inhaler helps her though! And I can't believe how big she is! She is darling.

Sorry to hear she has been so sick. Sick kiddo's are never fun.

Poor thing! My nephews have those little inhaler things too. Hope she is doing better soon!

It is so tough to see your baby sick. We had to use a nebulizer for Colt several times; it's hard but it helps. Hopefully Abby is on the up and up by now!
