PM Update on Ellie

UPDATE:
The Price of...
2 doctor visits in two days: $50 (w/o the radiology bill)
1 unused oral antibiotic and 1 IM antibiotic shot: $300-600 (depending on amount covered by insurance)
2 sleepless nights: exhaustion
Watching Ellie dance in her white keds with nothing but panties and a t-shirt on tonight...PRICELESS!

Just my luck...the doctors office never called us this afternoon with her results. I guess they just want me to call them in the morning and remind them that she was a PREEMIE and that she is at increased risk for RSV. (Yes, they are open once a month on Saturday and tomorrow is that day.) If I got paid for all of the medical consulting I have to do for our family I would be set by now! Actually, I love our pedi and I am sure the reason he didn't call is because he isn't worried. Then again Dr. Mangal knew on November 7th that I was diagnosed with CF, but he didn't call to tell me until January 6th...I think I'll still call them tomorrow. :)
So, Ellie napped while I rocked her from 5 until about 7:30. She ate a little bit of dinner, played in the tub with lots of steam in the bathroom (thanks friend for the advice)and then got a chocolate covered pretzel as a treat. Now she is watching Sprout TV, I am on the laptop and Brandon is snoring next to me...he OBVIOUSLY had a long two days as well...sure! I will update tomorrow with any new info.

Please keep Ellie in your prayers. She always seems to get a little worse when she is sleeping which makes it impossible for me to sleep. However, I am so proud of how well she has done with this whole illness thing (if you take out the whole refusing the medicine issue). I gave birth to two of the most amazing and strong willed little miracles...what a blessing!
