nebulising...


Poor Zara has had an allergy cough since the allergic reaction she had while were on holiday in Ballito. The cough and excema flared up a few days after the rash cleared up and the cough particularly didn't seem to worry her too much until she got flu two weeks ago. Chris is fed up with the coughing, so, I took her to the physio again this week. After checking Zara three times, she assured me that the lungs are CLEAR - hooray!!! but that the allergy cough could take quite a while longer to clear... I was also advised to nebulise her at least once a day for the next two weeks as this could help clear it all...

Knowing how much she hates having the mask on her face, I didn't really want to put her (or me) through the trauma. However, last night I had a brain wave and let her sit on my lap watching "beebeeies" before bath time. The distraction worked like a charm and there were no tears!!!!

Fingers crossed for tonight's session ;~)

She looks quite philosophical about it all. Brave girl!

Hi Dear Zara
Why don't you put the nebuliser onto Noddy as well . It will fix his cough!!
Lots of love

Hope she gets better soon. Having a mask over your face is NOT pleasant.
