doctor appointment

We are so glad we took Jada in for a second opinion. After checking her out, the doctor said she does notice allergies, but also thought she had an infection. She noticed her wheezing a little and gave her a breathing treatment, then sent it home with us to continue giving her at home. She also thought it would be a good idea to get an x-ray, which we are thankful for, because it turns out she has a spot of pneumonia on her right lung. I got very emotional over the news, but now I am so thankful that we know what it is and can treat her. She is already noticeably better after the breathing treatments and that is so encouraging! She still has a slight cough, but is already getting back to her happy playful self. Thank you for all your prayers and support - we are so grateful for our wonderful family and friends!

update

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We really enjoyed getting to see the Rumbaugh side of the family since we don't get to see them very often. Jada did great - we brought a whole bag of toys to keep her entertained and she was basically content with an empty water bottle the whole time - carried it everywhere, taking the lid off and on over and over again. :-) And even though she's been going through a little clingy phase lately, she pretty much went to anyone that held their arms out to her (she especially loved going to her Great-Grandma). Unfortunately, we were having so much fun visiting that we didn't take any pictures with the family. :-(

Since then, we've been dealing with a little sickness in our family, which is never fun. Just this last week Jada's been running a slight fever off and on, and been noticeably not feeling well: she is always the happiest baby with so much energy, but there have been a few days when all she wants to do is curl up in my lap & read a book or sleep. The doctor told us she has no infections and may just be teething or have a cold. We have a lot of confidence in our doctor, but since she's also been dealing with allergies for so long, we thought we would take her to a different doctor tomorrow - maybe we'll at least get an insight into her constant allergies.
