As mentioned in one of my posts yesterday, the girls both had a well check-up at the pediatrician today. Chloe got a good report and got her flu shot. She won't have to go back until she's three! Claire has been very congested over the past couple of weeks and has acquired a cough as well. After hearing her, they sent me down to get her chest x-rayed while Kevin and Chloe got her flu shot. The chest x-ray showed some bacteria that was concerning to the doctor so she prescribed an antibiotic and instructed us to start breathing treatments for Claire every 4 hours. So......here she is following in her sister's footsteps. We're praying that the combination of the medicine and the treatment will clear up her chest infection and get her well in the next few days. The doctor seemed to think that we should see much improvement over the next few days. I'm thankful for a pediatrician that we trust and one that has my children's interest at heart. I'm hoping our sweet Claire will feel much better by the weekend.

We've been there! Norah was 6 weeks the first time she had breathing treatments. Now she's 4 1/2 and we are still doing them! No fun! Hopefully for you, it will be a short term thing.
Oh no... I hope and pray your sweet Claire gets better soon. It is no fun having sick children, and she is still so little and tiny. Hang in there. Everett had a fever a couple of weeks ago - that sent us to the hospital for some more significant tests. It was scary when the pediatrician mentioned meningitis. Thankfully, it was just a simple virus. He's been battling coughs/colds too -- I think he is getting them from his brother and sister. Know that I'm praying for you today!
