Baby's First Halloween and Dr. Visit



We went for a re-check with Dr. Bradley on Halloween. I am so glad we did bc Anna Claire left her office already sounding better, so by the time it was dusk outside Anna Claire was ready for the Trick or Treaters. At the Dr's appt we found out that the ER Dr did not know what he was talking about. He told us her Bronchitis was more infectious and not viral by looking at her WBC. He gave us an antibiotic to help. I told Dr. Bradley yesterday that she was not any better than she was on Sunday at the ER, other than the fever was gone. Dr. Bradley checked her out and while she was waiting for the x-rays and blood work from the ER, she gave Anna Claire a breathing treatment. It helped SO much!!! Once the information was given to Dr. Bradley, she came in and told me (and Anna Claire's Granny) that Anna Claire's Bronchitis was infact viral and that an antibiotic would not help or cure her. That explained why she was not any better. She said her x-rays should the blockage in hr broncular tubes, but there were no signs of pnemonia. What a relief, so we were sent home with a breathing treatment machine to help open up her broncular tubes and then with a medicine to help heal them. She takes the treatments every 4-6 hours for 4 days and the other medicine she takes once a day for 4 days. She's already much better!!!
Here is some pictures of her in her Halloween costume taking her breathing treatments. It's rather sad!! Be sure to check out the Rhino mask!!

Now on to Halloween!! She LOVED the Trick or Treaters!!! We didn't go anywhere bc she was still sick, so we stayed with her Granny so that she could see everyone. We took her to the door every time a Trick or Treater came up. She would kick and squeal every time. She stayed so excited that by 7:30pm she had crashed in my lap. She had so much fun that she just couldn't handle anymore!! Her first Halloween was wonderful!!! Here's some pictures!!
