Ingredients for health

Our daily routine for treating Lizzy's pneumonia.

One doctor visit to hear Lizzy's lungs.
One hospital breathing treatment.
Three doses of two pills each, diluted in water and dropper fed (only way she'll take it since she's sworn off any predictable eating and drinking), evenly spaced throughout the day, including a midnight course.
Three doses of Robitussin.
One at home breathing treatment broken up into two sessions since the at home nebulizer takes three times as long (about 45 mins)

Can I say we're tired? Hoping this is over soon. Thankfully Lizzy is back to her sweet and energetic personality and has started eating and drinking a little this afternoon! And no fever since last Saturday!

Oh Ruth, I remember the pain and agony of the back and forth in an unknown culture with dealing with Madeline after her seizure. Every time I read your blog about Liz's health I am reminded of how that felt. Sorry to hear it is being so rough and I hope it gets better. Thanks for the updates!
