Asthma?? Maybe Not

Okay - I had enough and can't continue watching my baby be so sick. Day care called to let me know she was not eating well, coughing more and was extremely fussy. At the last minute, I found a new pediatrician...one that specializes in asthma/allergies and got in with a PA. The PA was wonderful and spent more than an hour with me. Then, the doctor came in and spent another hour with me. The most amazing thing is they tested her for RSV within the first 5 minutes of meeting her and guess what.....it was positive. It is such a simple test, yet her normal doctor never even mentioned doing it. Oh well...guess it doesn't matter at this point, but I am still frustrated that she has had to go this long without the proper diagnosis, especially when the test was so easy. The good news and what I need to focus on is that she is doing much better tonight and will hopefully continue to improve.
