It's been a rough week for our little Avrey. Last week she started getting a cough, turned runny nose, turned rattly sound when she was breathing. It kept getting worse and worse and she was getting very uncomfortable at times. I knew this was no normal viral infection so I took her in the doctor. They immediately said she had wheezing/fluid in her lungs and to top it off an ear infection (which she had shown no signs of). The doctor explained that her airways were pretty much shrinking and constricting more and more which causes the wheezing and makes it difficult for her to breathe They put her on a nebulizer at the doctor and we now have the machine at home with us to do several breathing treatments on her per day for a while now. She doesn't seem improved at all to me (actually today she seemed worse) but they said it will take a while for her to get better as the treatments only temporarily open her airways up, which is why we do them so often.
So for a while now, Avrey is at home taking her ear infection medicine and doing her breathing treatments. It is no surprise to me that she is handling it all so bravely. She leans forward into her little mask every time, doesn't cry, and calmly sits there until its over. I wonder she can notice a difference right away and likes that she can breathe easier. Either way, she is such a brave girl for all she is going through at such a young age!

And a few pictures of her with her little mask :(
With Avrey at home trying to get better and avoid any further germs, Isabelle has still been keeping busy and getting out so that she is not stuck at home all day too! Thursday my parents came down and took her out to lunch and shopping at the mall! She had so much fun and was so excited and happy! Thank you mom and dad! You were a life saver that day!!!
Cinderella happily playing with her Minnie Mouse pet shop she picked out from Grandpa and Grandma and the Disney Store. :)
Today Kevin took Isabelle to Chucky Cheese for the afternoon and dinner. She loved it so much she said she wanted to have her birthday party there (which is what she tends to say when really, really likes someplace!) Here are some pictures of Isabelle and Daddy's fun evening!
This is apparently the teacup ride (or the hot cocoa ride). Isabelle said it was like the teacups and Disney World.....almost. :)
Isabelle has also been keeping very busy making lots and lots of Valentine crafts and getting her Valentine's and goody bags all ready for her party at preschool next week! She is so excited!
Hope everyone had a great week and is staying healthy!!!
