Her cough started over the weekend. Her temp has gone up and down all weekend. We have debated all weekend about taking her to see a doctor but decided it would be best for her to see her own doctor after having all her tests last week.
This morning Jillian got up at 5:15 coughing uncontrollably. Even after a neb she was coughing a lot. I took her out of her bed at one point to change her diaper. I got done and set some toys next to her, instead of playing she crawled back into her bed. She did this again after I got her dressed.
I called the dr office as soon as they opened at 8 and got her an appointment for 9:30. I hate driving in the car with her when she is sick and coughing. We have one of those mirrors however she is great at making bazaar noises and hiding her face.
We got to the dr office and she just curled up on my lap. This is not Jillian. She is the biggest ham in dr offices. The nurse called us back. Their scale says she is up 2oz from last week. We will see what it is like on the scale at GI next week.
Jillian was showing them nicely how grand her cough is right now. The dr came in. She showed me the report she got from children's that just said the endoscopy looked normal. We already knew that so no new news there with any of the other test results.
The dr listened to her lungs. She said they sounded better then she thought they would with her cough.
The dr said it is probably a micro asperation from the test last week where we pumped her tummy full of milk. Luckily we caught it before it became truely nasty as pneumonia. We are going to treat it like pneumonia though with antibiotics so it does not continue to get worse. We will see. She is in a good mood just super sleepy. She will play for a little while and then lay down. I called GI and left a message about it. We will see what they have to say.
Now to go work on cleaning the floor. I can't wait til there is not salt everywhere. Salt that someone tries to put in their mouth.
Jillian's day so far:
