"JUST" is the key word!

Two days after our 9 month check up we were back at the doctors office for our first real "SICK" visit. Reese came down with a cough that was rattling a little in her chest. Good thing I decided to error on the "over concerned mother" and take her to the doctor. She has a touch of RSV ( not the full RSV but just a touch - this is the infection we had to get special shots for right after she came out of the NICU). We are very glad she is just now getting it and hadn't gotten it before now! We were given a antibotic and breathing treatments. The nurse came in with the nebulizer and showed me how to put it together and use it with her. Connect this to that, plug this in here and then "JUST place this mask over her nose while the treatment is going". YEAH RIGHT.... JUST place......no way, doesn't happen.......it's like wrestling a wild hog to get her to keep the mask on for more than a few minutes. Here are a few photos we caught after a few minutes of fighting and wearing herself out! AND when she isn't fighting me and the mask then she is making noises into the mask to hear her echos! To say the least, it's been quite amusing! I'm just very thankful to the Lord for protecting her thus far from being sick!







It's now on her face and hopefully she is breathing in some of the medicated air!




Here she is making sounds into the mask!



The mask looks like a little fish and the nebulizer looks like panda! But neither one really help with the mask staying on the face!
