Ready to feel better!

Sweet baby girl...

Our wee one is still not feeling her best!

On Friday, another trip to the pediatrician was in order. Waverly had been pulling on one of her ears and was still not breathing clearly. Mommy took her to see Dr. Spath.

Waverly weighed in at 23 pounds, 6 ounces. Even sick, she is still maintaining a healthy weight! She was a very good girl at the doctor's office. She played with Winnie the Pooh while the nurse took her temperature. We were happy to know that she didn't have a fever!


Dr. Spath came in and looked at Waverly's eyes, ears and nose. She did have a yucky ear infection in her left ear. 10 months old and this is her first ear infection! Dr. Spath ran a test to see if Waverly had the RSV virus, and luckily, she did not! After listening to Waverly breathe, Dr. Spath said that Waverly had bronchalitis, which is similar to bronchitis, but this effects the smaller airways. We gave Waverly a breathing treatment while she was in the doctor's office.

Not so sure about this thing!

Waverly did cry for a few minutes, but then settled right down and I could tell that the medicine was making her feel better. After a few minutes, she could breathe so much better. Dr. Spath returned and had another listen. Waverly felt much better after that. She has to keep having breathing treatments for a few days, but she must know it makes her feel better because she sits quietly and plays with the mask now.

Beware - Hyper Kiddo Alert

The breathing treatments do make Waverly hyper though! For such a laid back baby, she is certainly bouncing off the walls! She is feeling so much better now! We have another trip back to the pediatrician next Monday, just to check her ears and make sure she is feeling better.

Waverly is very excited because Mamaw Jean and Papaw Dean come home from a week long vacation tonight! Now that she is feeling better, she will be ready to visit and play!
