Almost time!!!

Let the countdown begin!!!!

Slowly we are getting closer to MacKenzie's first day of school. Every day she asks at least twice "How many more days". We made her a calendar for her wall that she gets to mark off the days each night before she goes to bed. She is very excited. We went last weekend and finally bought all of her supplies for school. Thank you Alex for helping with that. Now all that is left is to pick out what she is going to wear. Check back Thursday night or Friday morning to see pictures and to hear about how her day went.

On to other news. MacKenzie is getting to big a big girl. Last week I had to take her in to have a check up. She now is 39 3/4 inches tall and weighs 37 pounds. Both big jumps from a year ago. We had to go in because we have been trying some medicines out with her and the doctor wanted to see how they were working. On the 27th of July I took MacKenzie in because for a while now a couple of times a month she was developing a cough. This cough would come out of no where and have no other symptoms. She would cough so hard and so long that she would make herself sick. With the family medical history that MacKenzie has Asthma was a concern. The doctor did determine that she has some mild kind of Asthma. Something that has the words cough something else and Asthma in the name. I will get that from her medical records later. But we have been very lucky. She takes a pill before she goes to bed everynight and has no problems. She also has an inhaler but that is only to be used when she has a coughing fit that will not stop. Since starting the pill she has only needed to use the inhaler 4 times and that was the first week after we started the meds. When we went last week the doctor listened to her lungs and was very happy about how clear and good they sounded. So now we are on a good path and she is back to being happy and healthy all the time.
