A trip to the doctor...again

Kennedy's cough has gotten progressively worse over the past two days so this morning I called the pediatrician and made an appointment for this afternoon. Her sats were down again and the doctor thinks that its because of her BPD. We upped her oxygen to 1/4 lpm and we are going to put her back on Diuril. The doctor also ordered two breathing treatments- albuterol and pulmicort to be delivered by nebulizer. At the doctors office she did well with the albuterol by she started coughing so bad she trew up while we were doing the pulmicort treatment. We are going to try it again tomorrow and see how she does with it, but if she has the same reaction then we are going to discontinue the pulmicort. The nebulizer is being delivered tonight so we can start treatments right away and the diuril will be ready tomorrow. Stay tuned and I will update the blog and let you all know how she is doing an a few days.
