Feeling better

Isabel is feeling better. After having a tag team effort by Gigi and Meme, I think we've got Isabel under control - although I sent her to nursery with a bag full of medicine.

Here is our new routine.
Antibiotic for the new ear infection - twice a day.
Anti-fungal cream for yeast infection on bum- every diaper
Breathing treatment for wheezing - three times a day

Not to mention she is eating like crazy! She loves some carrots, applesauce and bananas. We are trying peas this coming week. She can't wait... Oh, the simple things in life.

I had an impromptu photo session with her yesterday. I couldn't help but take pics of that little bum bum.

Enjoy!

Poor thing

Isabel has been getting one of two comments lately, Poor thing or Bless her heart.

Reason being, this girl still has a cough! We have been dealing with this thing for 5 weeks, so today will be the final day of my patience. We go to the doctor this afternoon to see what else we can do. I'm ready to go to a pulmonologist or allergist at this point. She just can't shake it.

She finally is off the oral steroids, which made her CRAZY. Luckily for two of those days, she was with her Gigi. Sunday, she was back to her old self.

Meme is coming in today to take over for this week. Hopefully having her out of nursery for a little while will help get the yuck cleared up.

Oh well. We'll figure it out! At least she enjoys cuddling with her mom and dad in bed between coughing fits. I just wish mom and dad could sleep through them like she does.

Pool time and bananas and coughing, oh my!

I haven't given an update in a while, and I apologize.

We have been quite busy at home. Isabel is now enjoying some yummy foods. We've only tried applesauce and bananas, but the other night she was crying during her bottle because she wanted some real food. That's my girl!

She is back on a few breathing treatments, because she had a cold that immediately descended into her lungs. Poor thing. She inherited her Pop Pop's respiratory system, so it's no surprise! (Her mom has it too...) She is great even after a few treatments and her hacking cough has subsided. We had a full night sleep last night (all of us) for the first time in a few weeks, so that is a nice change. She is also getting over her first ear infection, so the poor girl has been through the ringer.

Isabel did get to celebrate her first July 4th this year. We took her to the pool for the first time, and she didn't quite know what to think about it. Jeff took her around and she just kind of stared around at the crazy new thing she was in. She loves bathtime, so it won't be long until she is kicking around. Thankfully, she didn't cry - so she doesn't totally hate it. (I'll upload some bathing beauty pictures this week.)

Mom and dad also had their first trip away from Isabel. We went with friends to Charleston and had a blast! Although, we did miss the little stinker the entire time we were gone. She didn't hate us too much when we got back, but she wasn't very happy with us either. A bottle and nice nap took of that disposition, and we were soon back in her good graces.

We are looking at some home time in the month of July - which is fantastic! We've had Isabel on the go for the last six weeks, and we are looking foward to quality time with our little family.
