We went back to the Dr today, yet again, for a recheck to make sure everything is heading in the right direction. No fever, check. Ears all clear, check. No wheezing, check. The Dr was actually quite surprised that through all of this, she hasn't gotten an ear infection, I thank god! I've never had one but my bestest (and Mya's godmother) has had them quite a few times, and has even been to the er cause of one. So I would HATE to have Mya have to endure even more pain.
They did the finger prick and I sat anxiously in the seat waiting for the results. The Dr came in with a smile, she said it looked great. Her WBC count was at 12.6, which is higher than the 11.8 that we left the hospital with, and higher than normal (which is 10). I was a little worried, wondering that if we're on our way back up to the 20+ count that we had when we were originally sent to the er with; the Dr felt otherwise. She said that it's completely fine. However, after listening to her chest and back she said that she sounded congested. She thinks that she's got a virus, from the numbers she got back from the finger prick (the numbers that make up the WBC). So, we need to now do saline nose drops to break up the congestion. This should be interesting, this girl hates when we wipe her nose, forget trying to use that blue bulb syringe thing that the hospital gave us, she FREAKS!!! The nose drops are gonna be an ordeal. The nose drops, on top of the disgusting antibiotics that she's totally NOT a fan of (they really are GROSS, Ry and I both tried it), and the nebulizer, this girl is gonna HATE us!
We go back next Wednesday for her 9 month check up, she'll do another WBC count to make sure we're 100% normal!!
