Aria's health this week

THURSDAY
Last week my daughter was taken to the doctor's office with a terrible cough and just not feeling well. Turns out she lost her tubes in her ears and had a double ear infection. She wouldn't let the doctor check her breathing. So, she went back on antibiotics, which she's been off since January. My wife took her back into the doctor's on Monday because she still had a terrible cough and was occasionally vomiting due to the cough. Now she's also on a steroid and an inhaler. Her cough is still not doing much better and so my wife takes her back into the doctor's office today, this time with all three kids because the others aren't feeling well either. The doctor sent her off to get chest x-rays. Amazingly, all three kids did well during the doctor's visits and so they're getting treated to pizza for lunch. I'm sure they're thrilled.

FRIDAY
The pediatrician called last night regarding the x-rays and it shows that her lungs have inflammation and that her nasal passages are filled. This should not be the case since she's been on antibiotics for over a week and she's been on steroids and a new inhaler for the last few days. 

Tina called the ENT (Ear, Nose, Throat) doctor and she'll be taking Aria in to see him this afternoon at 3. We'll see what he has to say.

FRIDAY NIGHT
ENT doctor says that nasal passages not as bad as others thought but understood why x-ray techs would think so. With what he deals with, she seemed fine. We have a doctor's appointment with a pulminologist (lung) doctor on Tuesday. We'll see what he can do to help Aria breath. She's not doing too well and sometimes sounds like she's going to cough up a lung, especially if she's been too active.
