Crunch Time

I'm not sure how we're going to fit our day into our day.

Right now, Froggy has five respiratory treatments! We do two in the morning, one in the afternoon and two at night. Altogether, Froggy is hooked up to a nebulizer about 3.5 hours a day.

This week I reached out to friends, begging for kids videos, to help entertain Froggy. Our lovely friends dropped off about 45 dvds! And tonight our DVD player broke. I just love the irony.

When Froggy refused her hour-long treatment, I pulled out some books. In the past, it has been difficult turning the pages and holding the nebulizer cup, but Froggy complied and held it on her own. We read about 10 books and the break from Barney and Teletubbies was great. If I can keep up the momentum of "Mommy doing funny voices," and if Froggy continues holding her own, maybe we can cut out tv altogether!

But I'll swing by Best Buy tomorrow, just in case.

Hang in there - I can't even begin to imagine what this is all like for you but know I'm pulling for you to find the groove soon.

Hugs.
