We just got in from our follow up visit with Dr. Hughes. Yesterday, we got some Pedialyte in her and tried to keep her hydrated. She did play around on the floor and seemed to be feeling somewhat better until her temp would go up. She went to sleep about 8pm when I was doing her breathing treatment. She woke up a few times during the night, but went back to sleep on her own. This morning she was not in a good mood. She screamed and screamed. I think she was hungry so I gave her two ounces of formula to see if she could tolerate it. She seemed a little more content and didn't get sick so I gave her two more ounces. We laid in the bed to watch Playhouse Disney and she fell right asleep. I ended up having to wake her up for her appt.
Dr Hughes said her ears still looked pretty bad and she was still wheezing. We got another shot of Rocephin - and this time she screamed the whole time. We also did another breathing treatment in the office and she let everyone in the building know that she was not enjoying herself! The antibiotic shot has given her diarrhea and thrush in her mouth. So, today we are starting the Nystatin to try to get rid of the thrush. The doctor also put her on oral antibiotics beginning tomorrow and she said that would probably make the diarrhea worse. We will be beginning Culturelle and yogurt for that. She also put her on a steroid and I'm praying that she will keep being her precious self and not turn into a demon! We go back in four days for a recheck and hope to be on the mend. We will discuss asthma at that point if the dr feels this is the case. She wheezes quite often and we might put her on a daily medicine for that. Please continue to keep us all in your prayers. Lee and I are sticking together and hanging in there. There has been a tear or two shed, but all in all we're good.
We're preparing for some young people to come over and watch the Clemson/Carolina game shortly. I'm glad Caitlin is feeling some better for this. I'll keep you all posted as to how this next week goes.

This was Caitlin this morning before we took her back for her recheck. She looks bad, but nothing compared to yesterday morning!
