Well..... unfortunately our girls caught a cold. We were not looking forward to this day, but we knew one day it would happen. Thankfully we have a wonderful pediatricians office that is open on the weekend. On Saturday June 22, Kathryn woke up and had a lot of congestion in her chest. It was rattling and I was afraid it would impact her breathing. So we took her to the open doctor office hours on Saturday morning. They treated her with a breathing treatment nebulizer, antibiotics, and steroid. Anna was also very stuffed up and had a lot of congestion but was not in her chest. They gave her an antibiotic too. We tried to rest over the weekend with the girls.
The doctors office wanted to make sure everything was still ok with Kathryn, so they asked us to come back on Sunday. Kathryn still had a bad cough, but they said it was high enough and lose enough to not be a concern. Sam and I would fake cough to try to get Kathryn to cough to clear her chest with the congestion.
The fun part about going to the doctor is to have the girls weighed. Kathryn weighed 15lbs and Anna weighed 10lbs. Yeah, for growing girls.
In order for Kathryn to stay still while we gave her the nebulizer treatments, we would turn on the TV and she would keep her head straight forward and would not move at all. We know, it is not good for a baby to watch tv, and we never have the tv on around the babies, but it was the perfect trick to get Kathryn to complete her breathing treatment successfully.
