Getting ready for Valentines Day
Cute outfit from Aunt Mel
Well it has been a busy couple of weeks since I have been on here. Olivia has once again been very sick! She had gotten better for a couple of days and then came down with the bronchiolitis again. We were once again in and out of the doctors office and the ER. This time was by far the worst she's been. Not only did it linger longer and not get any better, it was harder to treat. Her doctor has referred us to an asthma/allergist specialist at U of M. They think that she may possibly have asthma. She was tested for RSV and we are awaiting the results of that test. She was given steoroids, steoriods and more steoriods and a shot of them FINALLY helped to kick this and make her breathing better. She has been throwing up about half of her bottles each day which has caused her to lose 1 1/2 pounds in the past week...not so good. But we are finally beginning to ween her off of the albuterol and gradually she is gaining her appetite back. The wheezing and rapid breathing has also stopped for the most part now. I can finally stop worrying soo much aboout her.
In the meantime, being sick hasnt stopped her from doing new things. She is recently interested in toys and even has a favorite. She also loves to put anything she can in her mouth! Olivia has definetely found her voice and likes to have a "conversation" with you which includes blowing lots of bubbles! Just the past couple of days she has began to roll onto her side and is trying soo very hard to get onto that tummy of hers! We're working on it and I suspect that she will be rolling over any day now!
