Meet Margo Moo

Say hello to Naomi's new nebulizer. Naomi has been wheezing a lot lately. We had a spacer with albuterol, but it wasn't seeming to make a difference, so we went to the doctor. The nebulizer they had there turned out to be much more effective (the spacer wasn't working because we couldn't keep a tight seal over Naomi's mouth because of her non-cooperation, ie, writhing), so now she is taking albuterol via "Margo Moo" (which unfortunately she does NOT love in spite of the cuteness) for 15 minutes every 4 hours, including at night. And going in once a day for a prednisone dose. All of which is hard but seems to be helping with the breathing...which is a very good thing.
Exhausted after an afternoon at the doctor's office.
