Her latest update was given Wednesday when she went to see her pediatrician, apparently Valorie is on the border of having Bronchitis. We started her extra treatments a whole week ago (last Friday), but this information is all new. She has a little crackle in her right lung. This is a basic rundown on what treatments she is taking now.
She will have 1 and a 1/2 a day of doing her vest along with 4 nebulizer/breathing treatments (Albuterol, Hypertonic Saline, Pulmozyme and then Tobramycine)
Then in the evening before she falls asleep she gets another set of breathing treatments. Albuterol, Pulmozyme and Tobramycine. Her pediatrician gave her a 2 weeks dose of antibiotics to take.
We have preferred not to fill her with medications (unless it is absolutely necessary) but she doesn't seem to show signs of getting better with just the increased breathing treatments, so we are going to give her these medications. Please pray though that this will work and clear up this cough.
We are praying for really good health as we have planned to take a trip with our kids before the summer gets too hot. We haven't had a 'fun trip/vacation' with our kids now for these last 3 years- since moving here to Missouri. We had to always stick close to home and a place where Valorie could have medical attention. This August will be 3 years since she had been admitted to the hospital, so we felt this would be a perfect time to take the kids to Yosemite Park for a camping excursion. However we desperately need Valorie to be able to 'kick this cold out the door'. Please pray for that.
