My little munchkin

[Guest guest]

Well, called Triana's pulmo back today and told them that she's still congested

and coughing, and has puked a couple of times...although I'm still not sure if

the puking was because she was upset about taking her meds. She normally

doesn't have any coughing or congestion, so this is obviously a not-happy thing.

In addition, I asked them about the diarrhea, and whether it was the antibiotic

or the new enzymes, since we started them both at the same time, and I haven't

been able to figure out which it was.

After discussing it for a bit, they decided it was probably the enzymes, since

she had thrown up part of her meal from last night, and they said that she

should have digested that, thus it is most likely the new enzymes not being

quite enough. (That and the numerous awful smelling poops.)

So...we've upped her treatments to 4/day (oh boy, get to re-teach my mom-in-law

how to do therapy tomorrow...poor woman is terrified that she's going to mess it

up somehow...I keep trying to reassure her that it's not hard to measure the

meds, which is what is worrying her the most.) And, they've upped her enzymes

to 1 MT12 and 1 MT per meal, with just the 1 MT12 for snacks. And, we're

supposed to supply her with lots of Gatorade...a new experience for her...she

drank some earlier without much coaxing, so I'm hoping she'll really like the

taste of it.

Other than that, she's ok...cutting a new tooth in the back...which is pretty

much what started this whole issue, and is almost certainly what's continuing

it, since we're pretty sure the infection is gone. She enjoys the Yule

decorations, and is looking forward to Yule, and Christmas, and Santa

Claus...although she's not quite sure who Santa is yet, and certainly has no

idea what Yule is about, although I think she has some idea about Christmas.

On a side note, I'm getting my nose surgery tomorrow to remove my " polypoids "

and straighten the septum. I should be breathing better by next week, if not

sooner. Wish me luck!

Talk to you all later, and hugs all around!
