Mother knows best

That's all I can say. Sometimes I wish people would just listen to me.

I put a call into the pulmonary clinic and spoke with the triage nurse today (well guess it's technically yesterday). I asked about getting a nebulizer and I heard, yet again, how inhalers work just fine if used correctly. They asked if Arianna does 6 deep breaths in with the inhaler. Okay, come on, she is only 2 1/2 years old. I just got the kid to quit screaming when she sees me pull it out. After talking about why I think we should try the nebulizer, they called it into our home health people and 2 hours later it was delivered. I have to give them credit because the doctor said it would take a few days. The delivery man said when it comes to nebulizers they know its because people are having respiratory issues and no one should wait to get that kind of relief. How sweet!

Once Robert picked up her medication from the pharmacy and got home Arianna already cried herself to sleep because I had to pull the oxygen back out. I gave her the 1st nebulizer treatment and she started that wonderful coughing, which is a good thing to get all that nasty junk out her lungs. Her sats jumped up and the oxygen was put away. I know Arianna is happy about that. I just checked her sats right now and my princess is satting at 93 and sleeping like an angel.

I am just so relieved we have finally found something that works for her. I feel a huge weight taken off my shoulders.

The pulmonary nurse wants us to schedule the first available appointment for Arianna to see the doctor. She just didn't feel comfortable having her wait till August for a follow up. I'm sure they are scheduled weeks out so we'll see what we can get.
