Breaking the Cycle

Well, she finally did it. Cassidy seems to have gotten over her Mardi Gras cold WITHOUT an ear infection and a need for antibiotics!!!!!
YEAH!!!!
Today we decreased back down to 1 NEB treatment with only her pulmicort to keep inflammation in her airways down. We stopped her xopenex (bronchial dilator), and her breathing sounded GREAT when I put her in bed (I now diagnose her wheezing on my own with a borrowed stethoscope from a med student in our lab rather than running into the doctor for her to tell us "yep, she's got bronchitis and is wheezing... increase Neb treatments).
Hopefully her immune system is finally boosting up and doing its job!
