Kady Update

Some clarification.

The "possible" asthma problem is completely unrelated to the snotty nose and cough.  For a minute there I was thinking the doctor was crazy.  I come in for runny nose and cough and I leave with a possibility of asthma.  He may as well have said, "It's yellow and shaped like a banana, therefore it's an orange!"  Do to her cold and snotty nose she has now developed an ear infection and the cough is due to post nasal drip.  The possible asthma is just being called wheezing at this point and could be due to RSV.  Not sure what that is but apparently it's going around right now.  For now we continue the breathing treatments because they are working.  Her Oxygen levels elevated again...score, and he heard no signs of wheezing, today...again score.  Glad we got that figured out.

ON another note.  The notorious liquid diet discussion...I'm really sick of this topic.  Aren't you?  Kadence has proven yet again to want nothing to do with drinking her rice milk so we have not even been able to try and ween her into her NEW formula.  The new formula we were attempting to try is called Neocate.  There are yummy flavor packets you can add to it....Ooo goodie!!!  I think the best option at this point is to go with plan B)...see below post.  There are going to be so many changes this month for all 3 of us I just don't feel the time is right.   If she isn't already full swing into her liquid diet, why start now with all the big adjustments she's going to have to make on top of being sick at the moment.

Her big 2nd Birthday is coming this Sunday.  If any of you have a good Vegan recipe for a birthday cake PLEASE let me know.  I'd love to be able to make some type of birthday cake she can eat.
