Allergies/Asthma

Poor Emily has been wheezing all day today.  She's been doing so well since her meds were changed in April, so I've been trying to figure out what could be irritating her.  She's out of Singulair and hasn't had any in two days.  So that's part of the problem.  But the more critical issue is what I found tonight.  She's been taking the wrong preventative inhaler!  When she ran out a week or so ago, her daddy grabbed another one in the closet but didn't look to make sure it was the right one.  It was the old dosage and expired in July!  Oops.  So, I loaded her up on what she needs and had to settle for giving her Zyrtec instead of Singulair until we see the doctor.

So I guess I'm making appointments tomorrow and hope we can get in this week.  We need to do our annual well visits anyway.  I really dislike going to the pediatrician because I always feel like we're going to catch something while we're there!

In addition, I'm joining the dentist club with Jen since my bonding popped off again when I brushed my teeth tonight.  This is the third or fourth time this bonding came off!  I have the same bonding on another tooth that has been fine.  For some reason, this tooth is being very stubborn!  My dentist put it on because my gums have receded from pregnancies & chemotherapy, so I needed the bonding to prevent cavities.  I usually don't mind the dentist but this is starting to annoy me!

  1. Welcome to the club!! We're going back in today also. :) I totally understand not wanting to take the kids in for their well visits. I purposely wait til summer for both of theirs. That seems to work, for the most part. Hope you get her meds all straightened out.
