Breathing Treatments

So, Maddy had her tubes put in two weeks ago and I had high hopes that once that was over with we would have fewer trips to the doctor. Unfortunately, things haven't quite worked out that way. I mentioned in an older post that she got a case of viral croup about a week before her surgery, well it came back about a week after the surgery. So, back to the doctor she goes. She came home with more steroids and a breathing machine. The machine itself looks like a panda bear and it has either a mask or a pacifier that attaches to it. You pour the medication in the machine and it creates steam that she breathes. She has to stay hooked up to this for a minimum of ten minutes before all the medicine is gone. It can be tricky to get her to keep it on the entire time but she really does a good job. We go back to the doctor in the morning for a follow up appointment. I am hoping she is all cleared up for the beach trip Saturday!
