Jules Update...Hopefully the LAST one!

Jules just MAY be almost better...FINALLY! After a week of breathing treatments, we had to go back into the doctor to evaluate Jules and how she was doing. I had really noticed no change at all in her coughing and I felt as though the treatments weren't really doing anything. So, we go into the doctor and explain our week. Dr. Levy decided that Jules really MUST HAVE had the whooping cough. She said the test could have shown negative even if it was really positive. She just had all of the symptoms and there just happens to be some huge outbreak of the whopping cough in our area at this exact time ( Seth and I saw a story about it on the news the other night). So...that is the final diagnosis...the whooping cough. The good news is that we treated her a couple weeks ago when the symptoms first started...and so she should be in the clear from anything turning dangerous at this point. As far as the cough goes though, it can sometimes take up to six weeks to fully go away. So we may still have a couple more weeks of coughing. I can handle that just knowing that it will go away soon! In the meantime, we have put her on a reflux medicine twice a day because our doctor thinks that the whopping cough could have just upset her and is causing her to reflux a little too. I actually think I notice an improvement these last couple of days that she has been on the medicine. YEAH! I am just so glad that I don't have to worry about Jules not breathing okay anymore!!!!

Here is my sweet girl just grinning at me!

Oh...and if you like this onesie...too bad. Jules had a MAJOR MAJOR MAJOR blowout in it the other night, and Seth and I made the decision to just toss it...it definitely qualified as an infectious linen (ha ha...inside joke with my family!)! Too much to clean up and she will probably out grow it here before long too! See Ya, Be Ya Cupcake onesie!
