Doctors Visit - pneumonia

Clementine finally got bad enough that we had to take her to the doctor. She was wheezing pretty bad & had some major congestion.

We got in & they had trouble taking her pulse oxygen level, but finally got it & it was at 91! They were pretty concerned at that point and thought she might have RSV. They did a nasal swab & determined it wasn't, so took some x-rays of her chest. There was an infection in her right lung & they determined that she has a-typical pneumonia and did a breathing treatment with a nebulizer right then & there. Her pulse oxygen level went up to 97 & her breathing was better immediately!

So, the doctor prescribed her some antibiotics for the infection & a nebulizer machine & meds for her breathing.

Hopefully she'll recover quickly. She's still the happy little baby, but looks so sad & tired! It breaks my heart for her to be sick. I'm not too worried though, I'm sure she'll bounce back in no time!
