Lately, HTS has been irritating my lungs a little. I normally do HTS and my Vest at the same time, but I have been needing to take short breaks from HTS while Vesting just to let my lungs calm down a little. My daughter, who has watched me do treatments her entire life, has noticed this little change in my routine. Whenever she catches me stopping my nebulizer to let my lungs calm down she comes running over to me, grabs the neb cup and shoves it to my face saying, "In, mama!!"
She sure is strict about me doing my treatments and she won't take any excuses! A resident at clinic once said she couldn't imagine doing all the treatments I do while caring for a toddler (her daughter was a few months younger than K). I could only laugh, she doesn't know my daughter!!!
That is adorable! :)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for you to meet your perfect little girl!
DeleteOh my goodness! I love how K wants you to do your treatments. How sweet! She is too cute. Have you asked your doctor about going down to a less concentrated dose of HTS? I nebulize a 3% because of how irritated my lungs were with 7%. Maybe you could alternate on days when it's really bothering you? I couldn't handle 7% at all.
ReplyDeleteI recently started diluting it with regular saline. I started with about 6 drops, but then I didn't cough much out. I have been doing 4 lately and although my lungs are much less irritated I also don't cough out as much mucus. I am totally torn on to do!
