Maya's 1st Week of School

Maya's 1st week of school went ok. The first 3 days went really well. Unfortunately, she caught a nasty cold from one of her classmates, so she missed her 4th and 5th day of school. She is doing much better now. We had to take her to the doctor twice because she was not doing well. Her cold became worst and became bronchitis. A word to the wise, be careful if you use saline water with your toddlers and/or infants because Maya stopped breathing (briefly) twice and turned purple because of the saline water!!! Can you imagine what a scare we had. Thank God we made her react right away. We were going to call rescue, but I called her Pediatrician instead. I spoke with the on-call nurse and she confirmed what we had thought, that the saline water had blocked the air way in her nose and that had caused the brief lack of oxygen. We took her to see a Pulmonologist and he gave us medication (free samples) for her asthma and a prescription for antibiotics. Thanks Dr. Alvarez!!!! So, beware of Saline water and small children. The label said it's harmless, but to be honest with you, we are not going to use "ever" again!!!

On a more positive note, I can tell you that Maya it's having too much fun in school. Everytime Mauri goes to pick her up she does not want to go home!!! Can you imagine! Anyways, it is good that she likes school. We pray to God that she will always like it :o).

I will post more at a later time. Take care until then......

Love,
