Ya' know? There must be something about the fresh, beautiful October air that just doesn't mesh with Skink lungs! After mentioning the dreaded Pediatric ICU event in yesterday's post, The Skink got up this morning with a wheeze!
No discharge and obviously feeling her oats (or CheeriO's), I got her up and dressed and placed her on the couch for a quick breathing treatment. She sat happily with the mask on her face for the entire session and then bounded on to the bus.
*sigh*
I have a feeling the nebulizer will be seeing a lot more action in the weeks to come. Honestly, I don't care if I have to make her sleep upside down like a Halloween bat for the next few weeks if it will keep her lungs clear! We are NOT going back to the hospital this year... or ever, if I can help it! (At least not to stay.)
Keep your fingers crossed The Skink's lungs stay as clear as the beautiful blue skies we're having today in VA!

(Don't worry - that brown stuff on her face is paint. I swear my kid isn't shit-faced in this photo!)
