My poor sick baby.

    I can not believe that I have a 2 year old. Life is crazy most days but when isn't it. I spend a lot of time in the doctors office with Sarah. She either has an ear infection or bronchitis or RSV. I really wish that they could figure out what is making my princess sick. I hate when she is sick because she is clingy and needier than usual. I love her but I can't handle the clingy. She had RSV at 3 months then starting after her first birthday she has had bronchitis almost once a month for the last 14 months. 
    Some months it's more than once. In December and January Sarah had bronchitis 6 times in those 2 months. It was enough for the doctor to finally give her a breathing machine and tell me that she has the baby form of asthma. It breaks my heart when I have to give her breathing treatment because she fusses and cries but I can't do anything about that because she needs to get better.

    I love my little one but the first time doing her breathing treatment was scary for her. The picture to the left is the first time that she used her new machine at home. The first time we ever did a breathing treatment was back last year in the E.R. when the doctors thought she had pneumonia. But thankfully it was just bronchitis and a sinus infection. This was just the start of the sickness's this year. Since the start of using the breathing machine she has had bronchitis about 3-4 times and every time she has bronchitis she gets a sinus infection on top of it.

       I love my little girl but I need some advice from anyone who reads this. Can you suggest anything to help her not get sick so much? I mean I have cats but we have tested her with pet dander and nothing happened. I'm just worried that she is going to be that kid who is always sick. The doctors know me by my first name now and when I call to make an appointment they just ask when can I be there? It's funny but sad. Life for her has been great for the most part. With the exception of being sick for what seems all the time and with her daddy getting arrested she has been a wonderful kid.


When she is sick she is super funny. She doesn't act like she is sick. She acts like she doesn't have a care in the world. She wants to curl up on the couch with juice and some sort of snack and watch Despicable Me or Curious George for hours and hours at time. I love to just snuggle with her when she is really tired and just sing Your are my Sunshine and tell her a funny princess story about a sick girl and how she needs to get better soon to go to the park. She perks up real quick when I say that. She is my world and I wish my world wouldn't be so sick all the time.
