Doctor, doctor

It's been a bit crazy here lately so here is a short recap.

Friday 12/2 - David took Elias to the ER because he coughed so much
Wednesday 17/2 - Alice started to have a bit of a chesty cough so I booked an appointment with a doctor
Thursday 18/2 - Took Alice to the doctor who thought she needed treatment. Alice inhaled two separate medicines but the doctor still wasn't quite happy with the sound of her lungs and told us to take her to the ER if htings didn't improve in the coming hours. It didn't so I took her in the evening where she inhaled medicine yet again.
Friday 19/2 - went back to the doctor again and she thought it sounded better but still Alice needed to inhale.
Monday 22/2 - Elias had an appointment with his doctor to oversee his medication and Alice came along as well. The doctor thought Elias sounded very good now and thought Alice was a lot better. She still had quite a bit of phlegm so she wanted to treat her one last time. We weighed both kids as well and it turned out Alice had lost 35 grams since Thursday night so the doctor wanted us to weigh her again at the end of this week just to make sure she doesn't loose more. So now we have an appointment with the clinic on Thursday to check her weight.

It's been quite a week! I guess it sounds pretty scary but I must admit I haven't been too worried, mainly because we have been seeing doctors quite often and they haven't been that worried even though they definitely thought she needed treatment. She has probably cought the RS virus and that is why she has had problems with phlegm and coughing. It usually also takes longer than a normal cold to recover from.
