Our little Mad has been a little under the weather since we came home from New Orleans. At first we thought maybe it was from being around a cat a lot pretty much for her first time. Whatever it was made her asthma start acting up and by the time we got home she started up with a low grade fever too. Matt and I decided to bring her to the doctor and have her checked out today. I’m glad we did. Her little lungs are tricky. A common cold for any other kiddo can land her with walking pneumonia in a matter of days. So we’re really cautious with her. She was already beginning to get bronchitis this time. Her doctor also decided she’s old enough to go ahead and do an allergy panel on her so we’ll know exactly what her triggers are and hopefully be able to head off some of her problems in the future. Downside, she had to have blood drawn for the first time. Thankfully she is a tough cookie. It was probably helpful that I promised her a trip to the store for some new garbage pail cards. At any rate, she sat in my lap and didn’t shed a tear. By the end of the week we’ll have the results. She’s excited she gets to stay home with me tomorrow as well. I’m happy she’ll be feeling better soon and okay, I’ll enjoy spending the day with her tomorrow too!
