Puny

Well, poor little Sophie has been very puny the past few days, as all you Facebook friends know. She's had a cough for a while, which got worse last week and then the fever started. On Friday morning, I took her in to the doctor, as the thought of waiting through the weekend was not appealing. After hearing crackling in her chest, the doc sent her for an x-ray which revealed pneumonia in her right lung. Poor baby! Antibiotics and nebulizer treatments continued all weekend and this morning she was declared "on the mend" at her follow-up. Hooray! And just in time for her seven month birthday today :)


One thing the doctor was not happy with was the episodes of rapid breathing Sophie has. So she wants her to have an echocardiogram just to make sure there is nothing going on with her heart (which looked a normal size on her chest x-ray, thankfully). So we will go for that test in the next week.


Thank you to all those who prayed for her. And happy seven months to our sweet girlie!

Poor Sophie! :( Hate seeing her sick but so glad that the doc caught it early & she's on the mend. Happy 7-month birthday to a very sweet girl!
