Sisters



Avery and Raegan officially are sharing a bedroom now that Raegan has graduated from sleeping in her swing to sleeping in her bed!! Avery likes for her little sister to come lay in bed with her for a little while before i tuck her in.

Raegan's congestion had been better but has gotten worse again this last week. I am hoping that it was because it had warmed up and that she might get better now that it's getting cold again. She has been going a little backward in the sleeping at night success, waking 2-3 times instead of the one time she was. Hoping it's just a growth spurt and she goes back to 1 time soon!! We have made it to 3 months of nursing as well, which with my supply issues and not succeeding in nursing my first 3 past 5 days old, i am very happy that i have made it this far. I'm just hoping that she may get the little boost to her immune system to help her not have to battle the allergies that her big sister has had to.

Avery had her appointment with her allergist today. He is very pleased with how she has been doing on the allergy injections. She has progressed well and seemed to handle the increase well. We are seeing improvement in her breathing issues and also in her skin!!! She does still itch alot but it is under better control. She can actually go outside without needing a breathing treatment after 15 minutes!! She had an ear infection when we went in today and bronchitis so he is going to have her do 2 rounds of antibiotics. He also tested her immuniglobulins (sp?) to see if there are any underlying issues. It is very easy with allergies and asthma to blame all the coughs ect. ect.. on that it must be allergies when she could actually be getting infections that need to be treated. So the cough that she has had this last month he does not think is from asthma but from an infection... He may have her get the pneumonia shot but will find out after the blood work comes back. He is starting her on a new antihistamine instead of the costly one that they had wanted her on before and he wants to have us try taking her off the Singulair and see how she does without that. I love the fact that he is sensitive to the issue of how much all these meds cost and does everything to try and help us keep cost down. The goal is to slowly but surely get her off all these meds that she is on. She is doing awesome and we are so proud of her being such a trooper!

Oi, achei seu blog pelo google está bem interessante gostei desse post. Gostaria de falar sobre o CresceNet. O CresceNet é um provedor de internet discada que remunera seus usuários pelo tempo conectado. Exatamente isso que você leu, estão pagando para você conectar. O provedor paga 20 centavos por hora de conexão discada com ligação local para mais de 2100 cidades do Brasil. O CresceNet tem um acelerador de conexão, que deixa sua conexão até 10 vezes mais rápida. Quem utiliza banda larga pode lucrar também, basta se cadastrar no CresceNet e quando for dormir conectar por discada, é possível pagar a ADSL só com o dinheiro da discada. Nos horários de minuto único o gasto com telefone é mínimo e a remuneração do CresceNet generosa. Se você quiser linkar o Cresce.Net(www.provedorcrescenet.com) no seu blog eu ficaria agradecido, até mais e sucesso. If is possible add the CresceNet(www.provedorcrescenet.com) in your blogroll, I thank. Good bye friend.

It is nice that Avery enjoys her little sister so much. Good to hear the allergy stuff is being treated well. We also seem to blame alot of Rachel's coughing on her asthma--last time she had a pretty bad bronchial infection.

(Who is the other comment from? Looks like something strange like Jen got)

Sorry about Raegan. Abigail is still coughing. Hopefully you will be able to keep up with the breastfeeding. :)
