Good morning ya'll!
Moira just stumbled out of her room a few minutes ago. Poor kid - this coughing at night business is really taking a toll on her. She is on a lot of different medications now. She is finishing a course of Zithromax for the ear infection, which has hopefully cleared up. She normally takes 2 tsp Zyrtec daily, Flovent and Flonase for her asthma and allergies. The Zyrtec doesn't seem to be helping her so I took her off it (for now) and she gets Triaminic Cough and Cold. Zyrtec was once a day. Triaminic is every 4-6 hrs. She barely clears 4 hours before the next dose. Nighttime is the worst for her. That damn post-nasal drip. Between that and the cold air, I think I will have to pull out the nebulizer for her if she coughs herself into an asthma attack. She is still coughing - hope the Triaminic kicks in soon.
Besides that, the night went pretty much as planned. I even made a chocolate cake. Olivia wants candles on it so she can blow them out. She must think that every cake is a birthday cake! Silly lil booger!
