Kaitlyn's First X-Ray

After going to the doctor for an ear infection and bronchiolitis 2 weeks ago, Kaitlyn's health seems to have improved, but she still coughs every once in a while and sounds congested. So, it was back to the doctor today to see if something else is wrong. Kaitlyn's left ear infection has completely healed, but her right ear is still infected. We got a prescription for Azithromycin (1 tsp. on first day, then .5 tsp. days 2-5) to take care of that.

The doctor listened to Kaitlyn's chest and didn't hear any congestion. However, Kaitlyn happened to cough when the doctor was in the room and she was able to hear that it was more than just a dry cough, so she ordered a chest x-ray to see if there was something which she couldn't hear through a stethoscope. After that, we headed to the hospital for the x-ray and Kaitlyn was so good laying still on the table for the x-ray technician.

He took two x-rays (one from the front and one on the side) and tomorrow, we should find out the results. This has turned into a pretty event-filled week - some good and some bad. Let's hope for only good things in the weeks to come.

At least being sick hasn't slowed her crawling down at all. Her ability and range seems to be growing exponentially day by day. Tonight, she crawled halfway down the entrance hall toward a ball she likes to play with. When she got tired, she stopped, looked at me and let me know in a not so subtle way that it was time to come get her. It's amazing to see her develop right before our eyes.
