Emma's Well Check & Gracie's Asthma

Emma had to go to the doctor yesterday for her 4 month(even though she is like 4 1/2 months old) well check and SHOTS ! The shots, like always, were terrible! He said she is perfect and is far more advanced than a 4 month old. He said she is more like a 5 1/2 mo. old. She is a big baby though, but he said as long as her weight and height stayed together on the chart she was good! She weighs 18 lbs. 4 ozs. and is 27 1/2" long. She is like in the 95% on both!

Saturday I took Gracie to the dr. b/c she has had a cold that we couldn't get rid of, but it came with an AWFUL cough. Well come to find out she has allergic asthma. The dr. asked me if this was new and I said yes. He asked how many time she has been diagnosed with bronchitis or allergies for her cough and I said like 4 or 5, well he says it has been this asthma the whole time, just misdiagnosed.He said it is triggered by allergies or a cold or the weather. So right now we just have to do breathing treatments for a week. If she has to have the breathing treatments 2 times or more in a month, they will then put her on a preventive medicine but right now they are just gonna keep an eye on it! Hopefully this is something she will grow out of!
