Breathing Treatments Round 2

We took Ava to the doctor today as she was sounding a lot worse over night, and her doctor put her back on breathing treatments for now. We actually purchased, through our insurance, our own nebulizer now, since this is her second episode of wheezing in a short time our pediatrician recommended doing this so she can just call in the script next time and get her started sooner. I feel so bad for her, not even four months old and she is on her third cold and second time on breathing treatments. I knew we would deal with this since Logan is in school and exposed to lots of germs, but having a baby this sick is new territory for us, Logan didn't really get sick until after his first birthday. I just hate seeing her suffer like this. She has been having a hard time nursing which just adds to the stress of everything and I just hope she turns the corner soon. So for at least the next week we get to do breathing treatments every four hours and hopefully next week when we go to her four month well check she will get the all clear and we can stop. I hope she doesn't develop asthma or anything, since the day she was born she has always sounded congested so I hope this isn't a preview of things to come. I told Matt we are not having anymore kids in the fall/winter because babies and germy toddlers don't mesh well.
