Sniffles

Ugh.. another rough night. She was awake and fussy around 2 again for almost 2 hours. Not a lot of fun, but we did get to see most of the 2nd half of the special on Harry Truman we were watching last night. Poor Kyra has ANOTHER cold, so I took her over to the clinic today since she was coughing and I couldn't tell if it was all in her head or in her head and chest. She was so stuffy, I had to suck out her nose with the bulb syringe this morning before she could even eat! Amazingly, we not only got an appointment for 4pm with her doctor, but we got in right on time at a same-day appointment on a weekday afternoon! We didn't even have to see the assistant that we don't really care for! Hooray! Apparently, she was scrunching or something when they measured her last time because she measured 25 inches today and was only a little over 23 a couple weeks ago at her 4 month check. They double checked since obviously one of those was wrong! She weighed 13 lbs 6 oz so she's still growing. Her doctor said her lungs are clear so that's good and gave me the dosage so she can have some guaifensin that might help some with the coughing and we're just going to keep trying to keep her nose cleared out and let her sleep a little upright until she's feeling better. If she keeps having problems with a stuffy head, the doctor may test her for allergies after 6 months.
