Doc Appointment

Well Aelita has had a cough for a while now that no matter what we did we just couldn't clear it up. So yesterday i took her to see Dr. Glade ,who is also our stake president, anyway,  I told her about how she only coughs after she's been playing or at night when she's trying to sleep. He listened to her lungs and stuff and said that she has a slight rattle in her chest and that she has a touch of asthma. The also did an eye exam and told me that her vision was 20/25 which i already knew but at least now i know that her eyes aren't getting any worse yet. After he told me that Aelita had Asthma he gave me two options. I could either give her singular(which could cause depression in children) or a breathing treatment. With the family history of depression i went with the breathing treatment of course. She is now on albuteral and flovent 44. She is doing very well with the medication and not coughing nearly as much as she was. She is still a very active child and i don't think anything will ever slow her down. Even in the confines of the docs office she was running around and getting into everything she could(not such a good thing in a docs office that has sutures and all kinds of not so safe things in it.) Aelita is also now excatly 30 lbs. They didn't measure her though so i have no idea how tall she is except the fact that shes about a foot taller then kiana.
