Eleanor's cough again...

Last time I told you how her cough was getting better.  Well, as soon as she woke up from her nap that afternoon it was back with a vengence.  Robert and I took her back to the playground on Saturday just to keep her active and help get the junk out.  It did the job and we took some pictures I will have to upload and post for everyone to see. 

I am going to have to place a call into the doctor tomorrow as her cough is getting worse.  We have not missed a treatment of anything and are getting her to run around to help "pound" her lungs.  The coughs are definately productive but she has not coughed this much ever.  It is almost constant now.  She can sleep without coughing for the most part.  I don't know what is going on but we are hoping that maybe the junk has been loosened up and now she is getting it out.  For CF a cough is not supposed to be bad but it is when they normally don't cough.  Prayers are needed for this...

Funny things...

Eleanor has a pair of Elmo clogs and she has worn them to the playground both times we have gone.  All the other kids seem to notice them and she is cute as she will point to them matter of factly and say "Elmo shoes."  On Saturday we went and a little boy had a pair of sweats on that had Mickey Mouse (who she also loves) on them.  He came up to her and said Elmo!  She looked and him and pointed to the Mickey on his pants and said, "Is that Mickey mouse?  It is Mickey Mouse!"  She was too funny.  She followed the little boy and his sister around playing with them most of the time we were there.  They also had the water fountain on and she decided to pay it a visit.  She came very close to getting wet.  Robert got there just in time or we would have had a soaking wet child.  Wish you could have seen the face she gave us...it was like Haha I know I am not supposed to do it but I wanted to see what you would do...she is quite a corker.

I will post the pictures soon,
Coleen
