Nebulizer

Last week Peyton got put on a nebulizer. She takes Albuterol every 4 hours and with the Albuterol she takes Pulmicort in the morning and at bedtime. She is such a good baby. She sits so still for it and takes deep breaths, almost like she knows it's helping her. After she had just 2 treatments the crackling in her chest was just about gone. She sounds so much better now! Yay! I got sent home from the pharmacy with a very large bag of meds and her little machine. I asked the girl at the pharmacy how much it would have been had we not had insurance. The machine is a little over $100 and each container of meds is about the same. It would have been just over $800! I paid $22.50, thankfully we have insurance.

My son Jet has asthma. I'm bummed for your little girl. It seems like the littlest colds turn into dangerous situations. Thank heavens for meds!

Hey, is Peyton sick or is it something else?? It's so scary when little ones are sick. Kolby has been sick with a cold this week. It just breaks my heart. Let me know.. Love you guys!!
