Winter means cold weather... which means bad times for Ellie

Ellie unfortunately is still sick.. Which suprised me as yesterday she really looked like she was turning a corner. That was until 4am this morning.... when we heard Ellie struggling to catch her breath on the monitor and it sounded like she was going to cough a lung up. (pardon the pun)

She didnt get much sleep between 4am-7:30am as she was just coughing way too much. After breakfast and milk it was time for Ellies sleep, however, as the coughing seemed to continue, Ellie couldnt control it and vomitted violently about 4 times.

Right... back to the doctors for 4th time in 1 1/2 weeks. The doctor put Ellie on a oxygen/asthma pump to see if this loosened up her chest or stop the wheezing. It didnt..... so she sent us off for a chest x-ray to rull out pneumonia. Thank goodness the chest x-ray came back all clear.

As this came back clear the doctor took a swab to check for whooping cough, it will take a couple of days to get the results back. At this stage the doc thinks it is either prolonged bronchilitis or whooping cough.

She is now on another course of antibiotics... Hoping the kick this bug!!
