Update on Kim

Kim has bronchitis and wet lungs, near pneumonia. Her temp over night reached 102*.
I talked to the school nurse on the way to the Dr's she said Kim only complained about having a headache and her temp was 97.3* and did not ask to go home early.
So now she has an inhaler and meds for the nebulizer as well as antibiotics and prednazone(sp). I'll keep the inhaler in my purse and she will use the nebulizer at home, I am keeping her home from school tomorrow, but when she goes back and needs it I will drive there and give her the dose of the inhaler.
I do get a bit jumpy when it comes to her lungs health. She was born almost 3 weeks early with a heart murmur, had jundice and in hospital for 3 days,she almost made the liver transplant list, then respitory sensory virus when she was 7 weeks old and spent 4 days in the hospital. When she was 2 she had an episode of respitoy distress that sent us to the ER in an ambulance from the dr's office, we spent 8 hours there that day. She has had a few minor breathing problems since then but not real bad and has never been dianosed with asthma. She has had pneumonia 2 times, once when she was 6 and when she was 8.
Kim will be 11 in about 3 weeks. I almost lost her 3 times in her short life.
We are hoping she out grows the lung problems instead of getting asthma.
She has been crocheting for 2 years now, she is very good at drawing and crafts.
She has won awards for her drawings and crocheting. She gets very good grades and is in the highly capable class. We are very proud of her.
