SNOTTY POPPY STRIKES AGAIN!

Whether she is teething or it could be just another cold, it is hard to tell, but snotty Poppy is back! She has been to the hospital this afternoon for her normal routine check up and the doctor checked her chest, the asthma nurse saw her also and recommended she be given a steroid inhaler to prevent her having an attack, and said she should have her flu jab. The consultant was very pleased with her progress and said she is hitting her milestones and then some! She said that premature babies have a lower immune system and that they have very small airways which can be sensitive which is why she keeps on having problems with her breathing, hopefully she could have grown out of these problems by the age of two, there again she could develop asthma, we shall have to wait and see. She is walking loads now, she walked right across the room when her mummy was standing by the door today and Barney has been getting a lot of love as she keeps saying "aaahhh" and throwing her arms round his neck calling Bargy!! She has been very snotty the past couple of days, could be teeth or it could be yet another cold, that is the problem with taking her to playgroup but she needs the social interaction of other kids and enjoys it so much. The doctor said she must go to these kind of places so that she can build up her immune system or she will become a sickly adult! Emma had to park on the main road when she went to the hospital today, she went round the carpark several times looking for a space! Ridiculous, they need to do something about the parking, I would be stumped as I can`t walk as far as the main road so it would be a huge problem for me, needs sorting.
