Are You Sure You Don't Have Asthma?

This was the quote from my Dr. today. I've been coughing since the plane ride home on Sunday and this freezing weather isn't helping. I went in today in hopes of a good strong (can anyone say codeine?) cough syrup and I was successful! After telling him after thirty five years I was pretty sure I didn't have asthma, he prescribed me some prednisone anyway since it's stronger than an inhaler and he says it will help get me better quicker before this sweet little baby gets here. He said it may make me a little jittery, like I've had 3 cups of coffee. Does this man not know how many diet cokes I can throw down in a day? Anyway, I definitely don't want to get our teensy sick or jeopardize not being able to be in that delivery room. My timing stinks!

being sick stinks! Since working in the public school system the last 3 weeks (did you know that?)...I have been infected and can't shake it! If you need more of the syrup...I have some! *wink*

What is the update on the babe?

You might want to think about acid reflux, mine was diagnosed as a cough right after a cold for over 2 months. Mine never feels like heartburn. It really flares up if I have been drinking too much soda and after a cold. Just something to think about. The dry air in Spokane doesn't help either, so I sleep with a humidifier at night. Hope you get feeling better and Happy Birthday!
