The past couple of weeks have seen our family catch the dreaded cold and flu bug that has been going around. Samantha had it first, then Emma, then me. Unfortunately, Clara picked it up and since she is only three months old it hit her the hardest. She had horrible congestion, a terrible cough, fever, and she lost her voice. Our little sweetie has been so miserable! Knowing that because of her premature arrival she is at a higher risk for RSV, we quickly made an appointment with the pediatrician. Dr. Lim gave us a nebulizer and a prescription for albuterol but unfortunately there isn't much else you can for an infant this young. This is a picture of Clara receiving her first breathing treatment. You can see in her eyes just how sick she feels. :(
She is breathing and sleeping so much better after several days of the breathing treatments and the humidifier.

Poor Clara...if it makes you feel any better, Cole is going through the same thing right now. When I give him his treatments he falls asleep because he can finally breathe better. It makes me so sad! Glad to hear she is doing better. She is so cute! Love the first pics!
Poor baby. My Aidan is at high risk too. He's starting the RSV (very expensive) vaccine at his next appointment. Glad she's doing well!
