Update

We saw the pediatrician this morning after braving the winter blast(hehe!). The doctor decided that although Lucy's ear hadn't improved, we would stay off of antibiotics because of her adverse reaction to the amoxicillin. If Lucy shows signs of worsening we have to be back in the office within 24 hours.
She took a listen to Lucy's lungs and they had improved, but she was still wheezing. We are going to return to the pediatrician in just 2 more weeks to see if she can be taken off her high dose of steroids(or at least if we can begin to wean her down). If she is still wheezing even on the dosage she is at in 2 weeks, I don't even know what the next option is. The doctor was very clear that Lucy's asthma is severe enough that we will be in and out of the office until spring so as to ensure Lucy has proper respiratory function.
I called my mom and am going to borrow an air purifier to keep in Lucy's room to hopefully help.
Before we left, Lucy waved bye bye to the doctor with a big grin on her face. The doctor said to me, "Shes such an amazing little girl. After all she has gone through she is still just as happy and pleasant as could be. No one would ever guess she has been sick a day in her life. Her mommy does a good job." That was nice. She didn't have to say that. It was like getting a pat on the back for a job well done. I am so proud of my little girl.
