Breathing Treatments R Us

We've had a rough couple of weeks as the cold season hit our family.  Last week Mia was dealing with bacterial pneumonia, while Chris and Avery battled sinus colds.  Now Livie has her fourth double ear infection, along with some wheezing.  Both Mia and Livie are on breathing treatments and antibiotics.  We are heading to the Ear, Nose & Throat doctor in a few weeks to talk about putting ear tubes in Livie.  Hopefully that will help resolve all of her ear infection problems.  In the mean time we are just trying to recover and stay healthy.  Somehow I had dodged the bullet so far...

I thought this picture of Livie was kind of funny.  She doesn't really enjoy the breathing treatments, but she is doing better with them each time.  Sometimes I have to chase her around with the mask because she moves her head trying to get away from it.  I found out that if I do them when she is tired, there is less of a fight
