Charley and the Medicine Cabinet

Here is our version of Charlie and the Chocolate factory - Charley and the Medicine Cabinet!!  Poor Charley was born congested and since birth has been on antibotics/allergy meds but never really seeming to break the congestion bug!  Most recently we got to visit the allergist, while there we found out that Charley (who lives in Oklahoma with all its allergies) is not allergic to anything.  YAY!  But still they were unsure why she is all congested, they prescribed us 5 prescriptions before we left in the mean time....only for us to return to the allergist a week later and get another prescription only to return to the peditrician and we may end up with yet another.  Looks like are next trip will be back to the allergist so we can be reffered to the ENT who put in her tubes to have him look at her adenoids which are enlarged.  Charley right now is being treated to clear up the congestion while also having a sinus infection, ear infection, end of pink eye and fluid in her lungs and another FYI she had her 18 months shots today and her 2 year molars are coming in.  Here is a list of our meds for her:

Patanase (nose spray) 2 times a day
Nizatidine (acid reflux) 2 times a day
Sildec-PE (decongestion meds) 2 times a day
Xopenex (nebulizer) as needed
Tobramycin (eye drops) 2 times a day
Singular (asthma treatment) once a day
Flovent (steroid inhaler) 2 times a day
Ceftin (antibotic) 2 times a day
Motrin (advil) for the teething and the shot today :) as needed

This picture is of Charley's allergy skin test she had prior to her blood test, xray and ct scan......

  1. Poor girl! Harry was telling me yesterday that one of his kids was the same way... B has constant congestion as well that I'm hoping goes away with the summer but we will see if we're in the same boat!
