6 months

The last couple of months have been filled with doctor appointments. Starting the end of February Eva started having trouble breathing. We started her on some breathing treatments but she was not getting better so we headed to the doctors. She was diagnosed with baby asthma. Grace had this and has since out grown it so there is hope that Eva will too. However, Eva was not responding to just one medicine and needed to go on another. After the start of that one she got better so we reduced the meds. only to have her start getting worse again. We went back to the doctors to see if she had anything else going on and nothing. Our doctor then referred us to an allergist since this was the only thing that made sense. (Pollen is high down here already.)

We learned from the allergist that she does not have any allergies as she is too young to have any airborne allergies. She just has asthma which he is saying she has developed from the RSV she had earlier this year. He says that since her lungs are still weak that any virus/cold she gets will cause her some problems with her breathing. He has not completely diagnosed her yet as this was just our first initial visit. He put her on a medicine 2 times a day for 6 weeks and then we go back. Since that appointment she has gotten so much better!! She is breathing normal now! :)

Last week we went back to the doctor for her 6month check-up. Other than the asthma she is doing great! She is growing right on track....she is healthy as can be! Eva seems to be more of a chatter box than a doer. By this point Grace was rolling and scooting around along with sitting however, Eva has her own ideas. She can sit but has yet to learn to catch herself as she tips from side to side and as for the rolling she finally has done this! Until the last day or two I was not able to get it on camera. I have it now and will post soon....I have to download it from the camera yet! :)
