I inevitably had to take Lucy to the doctor this morning. She was still struggling to breathe and requiring the use of her inhaler constantly, so I decided it was best she was seen.
The doctor said she has a moderate ear infection that she wouldn't normally treat with antibiotics, but because its Lucy she wants to jump on it NOW. She also thinks that the respiratory stuff is a serious case of seasonal allergies setting off her reflux. Closing the windows and turning on the heat puts a whole different variety of junk in the air. So we are going back on the massive amount of inhaled steroids we were on last winter until, at the least, March. She also wants to see us again on Friday to check her ears and breathing, and see us every 6 months for weight checks. Lucy hovers in the 10th %tile for weight and height usually and with her being on a formula only diet she could easily not be taking enough calories- so she feels its best we begin monitoring her weight more closely at this point.
I am hopeful Lucy will tolerate her new antibiotic so she can feel better!! Keep your fingers crossed for us.
