Brielle has been battling bronchitis the past several days. Breathing treatments every 2-4 hours. This morning she woke up with a high fever and labored breathing (retracting ribs, flaring nostrils, very wheezy breathing). After an hour wait to be admitted for a 2 minute chest X-ray...we were able to see Brielle's doctor.
Dr Henness said the X-ray looked better than her last one. No pneumonia! She has a nasty virus causing a lot of bronchial gunk and inflammation. She'll be on a steroid and another nebulizer med. She said we should see improvement within 24 hours. Thankful for our awesome doctor, no pneumonia, and a happy Brielle!
This picture is from a few days ago. Even though Brielle's been coughing up a storm, she's been as happy as can be. She's super excited about her new boots that daddy picked out for her!
(side note: Brielle has a front tooth that is bruised/gray. It happened during her last episode a couple weeks ago. Even with a yucky tooth, she still has one of the most beautiful smiles I've ever seen! )
