a sick month 9

Josie made it through the winter with barely a runny nose, and now that spring has begun, the poor baby is having trouble staying healthy. First, it started with a cold, that lead to an ear infection. After the ear infection, she developed broncholitis, and had to be put on asthma medicine and a nebulizer. To add to it, Roxie thought that Josie and I were playing and accidentally scratched Josie. And now, still with a runny nose and woke up with a slight fever this morning. I think that this fever is from some new teeth coming in. She is drooling like crazy. Please Lord, heal my baby!

She took the nebulizer pretty well. It had to be administered for 10 minutes, and the first 5 are pretty easy, but the last 5 she became pretty antsy. We would sing to her, talk to her, distract her anyway we could. We had to do this at first every 4hours, then every 6, then 8, until we weaned her off, but it lasted over two weeks. These are pictures from the end of the 2 weeks, by now she was a pro.




Just some other pics. She can walk around furniture, and behind push toys. Every once in a while she will stand on her own, but has not been brave enough to start walking. But I am sure soon the day will be upon us.
