She weighed in at 11 lbs 8.5 oz and is now 23 inches long. She's a little shorter and chubbier than Andrew was at this age.
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I was tempted to cancel her appointment today because we were just there and I was pretty sure her doctor would want to hold off on the shots, and I just didn't feel like going anywhere because I was having a crappy day, but I'm glad I took her in anyways. I've been so down today because it's the anniversary of my miscarriage, and now all this. ![]() ![]() -------------------- |

Did you ask her about trying the pulmicort neb? If she is on oral steroids she wouldn't need it, but after the steroids are done it might be helpful.
CF is a genetic disease, does anyone in your family have it? most kids with that have a hard time growing, and Allie seems like she is growing pretty well, I wouldn't panic about anything yet. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ETA: I'm still brain storming for you... You can try patting her on her chest while you are doing her nebs, we call that chest percussion therapy, it helps keep the stuff in her lungs loose and easier to cough up. Also, some kids don't respond to Albuterol very well, there is another med out there called Xopenex, it does the exact same thing, but some kids respond to that better. It might be worth a try. Ugh. I wish she would get better for you. ![]() This post has been edited by PrairieMom on Apr 21 2007, 05:42 AM |

I did ask about the pulmicort, and her doctor didn't want to do that because she doesn't want her on a steroid for more than a few days. If this doesn't help I can ask about the other drug you mentioned - she seemed to be doing so well with the Albuterol at first, so I don't know what's going on. ![]() No one in my family has ever had CF that I know of, and you're right she is growing well and developing just fine. Her ped did say she didn't think she would have it but I suppose she has to do the test to rule it out if she keeps this up. Thanks for all the advice Tara I really appreciate it. ![]() -------------------- |

Just a thought - my girlfriend's daughter sounds EXACTLY like Allie - same symptoms, started responding to things and then stopped, etc....they tested her for CF as well - EVERYTHING they tested for was negative - as it turned out in the end they found out she was refluxing and aspirating into her lungs............Just a thought - you may want to look into it - she showed none of the other classic signs of reflux cause it wasn't coming up and out - just going straight into her lungs - caused her alot and I mean alot of breathing problems - in and out of the hospital, etc. etc.....check into it - there are tests they can do to see EXACTLY where the formula is going after she drinks it.... Good luck and KUP, I know what it is like having a tiny baby that seems like they are sick ALL the time - Dylan was like that for the first 6-8 weeks..... ![]() ![]() ![]() -------------------- |

Make a list - and just keep taking her back as hard as it is - that is what I did with Dylan - just keep going back and finally we got some results..... ![]() -------------------- |
