Never humdrum

We don't believe in being bored (or relaxed but boy would that be nice!) so Evie had some 'fun' in store for us last week. She caught a really nasty virus that made it very hard for her to breathe--she was wheezing and her poor little body was working overtime just to get a small amount of air in with each effort. I took her to the doctor and she had to have 2 breathing treatments there and then we did more at home + steroids for several days to get her back on track. She seems much better now.

The good news is she LOVED her home breathing treatments (the nebulizer at the doctor's office took 15 minutes of holding her down with something in her face/mouth each time). She has an inhaler and a spacer and I think she has confused the spacer with a toy. She requests to hold it all the time and tucks it under her arm like she does her babies! The bad news is that with her allergies and now this reaction to a virus, she has a bigger chance of having asthma, but it is too soon to tell on that. It could also (fingers crossed) just be a random one type event. It was pretty scary!

The funny news is that both the inhaler meds and the steroids she was taking made her psycho, crazy energetic. She would just run around and around and around the couch, giggling and tripping over stuff and dropping things and being absolutely ridiculous. I have some video of her flipping this big lamb 'chair'/pillow thing all over the living room and climbing on it and somersaulting off of it and she was having the best time--then all of a sudden she just flipped it in front of the TV, sat down, put her thumb in her mouth and it was all over. I need to see if Max can help me get video on here. I have tried from my home and work computers but can't get the DVD to read each video as a file for some reason? Anyway, it was a total riot.

Otherwise she has just been doing her normal Evie thing, bossing us around, being cute, in general having a good time.
