We have made it through the weekend seizure free.  Eva did not have a fever but we continued with the breathing treatments every four hours.  We even had one of those bonding moments when I quietly went into her room at eleven while she was sleeping.  I knew I had to give her some relief by another treatment but was hesitant to wake her.  I remembered back to January when one of our many respiratory therapists would enter the room every three hours and do it while she was sleeping.  She never woke.  They made it seem simple.  So I decided to give her one hoping that it would relieve her of coughing throughout the night.  When I turned it on, thinking that if was under her bed it would not be so noisy, it scared the crap out of her.  I felt horrible but the process must continue.  I leaned over her crib (killing my back in the process) and she continued to sleep.  After ten minutes of shifting my weight from side to side, we were finished.  She seemed better and I drifted my way to bed.  This morning her cough was better and her nose was not as prominent as yesterday.  It think that we are starting to learn how to control these reacurring colds.
