We had seen the actual doctor a week before after her latest ER trip. This was a regularly scheduled appointment with the physicians assistant. She is proud of her growth since we saw her in May. We discussed how Payton's had a rough summer (3 rounds of pneumonia). They said she's outgrown her steroid breathing treatment, Pulmicort, which she's had at least once a day (if not twice) for over a year. We've now moved on to an inhaler with a new medicine. We also talked about this winter. Scary time. They're both active toddlers and want to do stuff. I don't want them around mobs of people who don't wash their hands, touch stuff, sneeze and cough all over. I don't want her to crash and burn. Or her to take me with her. Our goal is no hospital admissions this winter. The doctor and the PA both told me to trust my gut and be vigilant this winter. Here's keeping our fingers crossed.
P.S. Get ready for lots of updates. We've still got to tell you about our first field trip, our birthday, and our trip to the pumpkin patch this week!
