Campbell seems to be feeling a bit better today. She slept well last night and didn't seem to cough as much. Her temp is down to 99 this morning. We went back to the pediatrician and she was very happy to see that Campbell definitely was not as lethargic as yesterday. She went over the bloodwork results and they are mixed. Her white blood cell counts are within normal limits but there are bands that are elevated. This means we still aren't sure if it's bacterial or viral.
She checked Campbell's ears and they are redder than she would like and since she still has the congestion, she put Campbell on an antibiotic just in case it is bacterial. She also heard her cough and was a little concerned about the sound of if so she prescribed steroids in case I hear the noise get harsher throughout the day. I also told her that when Campbell coughed she would cry like it hurt so she wants to be cautious. The steroids will help with any upper respiratory inflammation. If you remember from her bronchoscopy results, we have to be very careful of any swelling due to her laryngomalacia.
So, thanks for your prayers. It looks like Campbell is hopefully on the mend. We'll keep you all posted!

Lulu also was prescribed steroids! Glad to hear that C is beginning to feel better. It did take Lulu a full 7 days before she started acting like herself again and even then it was touch and go... hugs and kisses to Campbell!
Praying for Campbell!
Did they test for RSV?
Avery's mommy- They tested for RSV and flu and both were negative thank goodness. I think it was some sort of bacterial infection b/c she's responded very well to the antibiotics.
