The big pill is her antibiotic.
Well it is that time of year again. I was really hoping we could go a little longer without it happening, but it happened, Jordan is sick……again. For those of you that don’t know Jordan she has very bad allergies and asthma. We really have to attack a cold fast and quick. It started with a cough about a week ago, but didn’t seem too bad. Then last night she started to have tightness so I gave her a neb treatment. Then this morning she needed another neb treatment first thing in the morning. I knew we needed to have her checked out. If I don’t watch out she could go downhill really fast.
When she is healthy, (if you can call it that) she is normally on an in-hailed steroid, two allergy pills, and a nasal spray. She is on all of that plus a strong oral steroid, a strong antibiotic, and nebulizer treatments three times a day. It is a lot of meds for an adult to take. She is only ten, but she has dealt with this all her life. She takes it with stride. I guess this it is all she knows. As a mother you feel bad when your child is sick. You want to make them feel better and take all the pain away. She is doing better after a visit to the Dr’s office and should be ready to go to school tomorrow.
