sickness update

Sorry I've been MIA the last week, but Everlyn is still sick.  I took her to the doctor last Friday, but our normal pediatrician wasn't available.  The doctor we saw diagnosed her with a virus and croup cough.  He gave her five days of low steroids to help open her airways.  Fast forward a week and the poor girl was still so sick.  She could barely breathe because her chest was so congested, so I took her back in to see her regular doctor.  She confirmed my suspicions - it wasn't croup after all.  Although she didn't give us an exact diagnosis, she sent us home with a machine to do breathing treatments two to three times a day for at least a week.  It seems to be helping a little so far, but my little bean is still under the weather.

In other news, I am waiting to start round three of clomid after confirmation that the second attempt also failed.  The nurse told me that this would be the highest dosage.  If it doesn't work, I'll be referred to a specialist.
