RN I ordered something from ebay a couple weeks ago and it showed up a few days later. Just now, over a week later, another one of the item arrived. Maybe they think they forgot to send one the first time.

RN thanks guys. I don't think she'll be up to her usual energy levels anytime soon (in fact she's just kinda sitting on the couch vegging out right now) but it's a great sign that she's on the mend. RN Rissa, that is totally awesome your dd gets to go to Austria! Hope she has a blast! And congrats to your oldest dd!

RN Thanks!!! RN Wargod, how did the Neti-pot go over with Kota and do you think it helped her at all? Glad to hear she is feeling better.

RN Sitting in our room at the San Luis Resort in Galveston, Tx, on the 7th floor enjoying the ocean view from the balcony. Talked to a gf from back home and they hit a high of 29 today! Not feeling the need to rush home right yet.

RN Rissa, she's still having quite a bit of trouble with the neti pot, mostly if she's not pouring it down her face, she's tilting her head too far back and it's going into her mouth. I'm going to get her the squeeze bottle as soon as I can find it (they didn't have it at cvs.) The neil med seems to be working, when she gets the neti pot right, she's able to flush out each side. She is still pretty snotty and stuffy but, it's much better than even yesterday. Other than a general not feeling well, the biggest problem right now is her lungs, she's so raspy sounding and has a deep, nasty cough. Unlike the sinus and throat infection, that probably won't be cleared up with the antibiotics and other meds and will just be a matter of time and more breathing treatments.

RN I should be smacked upside the head for speaking too soon. My poor baby has been up several times since 9, coughing so hard she's throwing up again. The nebulizer treatments aren't working all that well, but not to the point we need to make an er run. We will have to make an urgent care appt if she doesn't show some improvement though.

RN I'm sorry to hear about Kota feeling worse and having asthma problems. My DS was on a nebulizer for years and years starting at 11 mo. I feel for you since I've been there. On the plus side - once he got to his late teens, he stopped needing any meds at all for the most part. He only occasionally needs his inhaler. I hope she feels better soon. I hate intrinsic asthma - just have to wait for the infection to go away... uggh. Keeping my fingers crossed for her! RN - I'm thrilled to see that Pamy's Dopey is home! I was all depressed because it's the one-year anniv. of my Mom's death. Who would think that finding out a cat on the other side of the country came home raised my spirits this much? Hmmm.. just had a thought as I'm typing. My Mom loved animals and we had many, many cats through the years. We had people donate to the Humane Society in lieu of flowers. I'm thinking that has to be some kind of good karma or something!

RN Watching, thanks. She got up this morning and said she wanted to go to school. I gave her another treatment and sent her with a note to the teacher asking her to sit Kota out of the morning run and anything physical. Then called the school nurse to warn her Kota was coming, lol. What really sucks is that in August, for the first time since she was diagnosed (13 months old,) her doctor said her asthma was under great control. And it was, she was having the occassional attack, but nothing serious and before this week, it'd been several months with no problems. Seeing how easily it all started back up again is disappointing. RN Watching, those anniversaries are tough, I'm very glad you found something to make you smile!

RN, I wish there was something more they could do to make Dakota feel better. I feel so bad for them when they are sick.

RN Bee yep he did. If you add in the neighbor's dogs which have been howling and barking since the drumming started, they'd have singers too! My step dad played drums (and guitar, keyboard, piano, organ, flute, etc) and I have very fond memories of it. Heh, I can even smile about the time he told me "I'm so sorry honey, you just don't have any muscial talent, we can try another instrument but I don't think it'll go any better than the flute, guitar, or piano did." So I'm not against loud music, just against it later at night on a school/work night!

RN, War...LOL! They can be The Howlers! I let my kids do their rehearsals here, but I talked to the neighbors about it first, and they didn't do it late at night. Hopefully you'll be able to work your ways with your new neighbors and this won't become a problem for ya! Good luck, darlin'...want to borrow some ear plugs? lol

RN I really wouldn't mind if it was earlier. Or even if it was late on the weekends. Only thing I can say is that you can't hear the drums on the opposite side of the house, where the bedrooms are so that's good. But, you can hear the dogs all night. We turn on the fans in our bedrooms so it drowns out most the noise but the older neighbor lady across the street was just griping about it today to me. Personally I keep hoping the dogs are just unused to the normal noises of the neighborhood and once they do they'll settle down.
