I apologize for not posting this sooner, but things have been hectic around here. We had our appointment with Dr. Menezes in Iowa City in Wednesday and it was good news! We literally only met with the doctor for maybe 5 minutes. Of course, we waited out in the waiting room for about 15 minutes and then in the actual doctor's office for about 30 minutes. But the wait was worth it to hear that everything was ok. The doctor came in, introduced himself, looked at Payton's hands and feet (he later told us he was checking for genetic markers), and then said to us, "Take your baby home and enjoy her." Which is exactly what we intended to do :)
Unfortunately, that night Payton woke up in the middle of the night and wouldn't go back to sleep. She wanted to be held and wouldn't let us put her down. Chad and I took hour shifts staying up holding her. By morning, she was just burning up with a 103.8 fever. I got her into the doctor around 1, and they diagnosed her with bronchilitis. So, she has to do breathing treatments with a nebulizer every 4 hours. She actually does pretty well with the treatments. I think the medicine makes her feel so much better. Poor baby!
We were supposed to meet some of my friends tonight for pizza in Colfax, and I had to cancel. Payton is feeling lots better today, but still sounds very wheezy and is contagious.
