Nov. 2009 WE HATE PULMICORT!!!

Pulmicort changed our darling girl into a totally different person during the 10 days she was on the medication - here's a sampling of Meme's posts from Facebook:

11/6/09 "Ugh Julia is better but ACTING UP totally not herself - went from never having time-outs to getting TWO today --had a hunch and looked up her meds - the &~%$ Pulmicort might be causing all of this, can't wait to get her off it PRONTO. I want my daughter back!"

So after Meme did a lot of research on-line and reading a lot of horror stories she called the Pediatrician and we decided to start the weening of the meds the next day - only 1 dose rather than two, and then only 1/2 a dose for the remaining few days.

11/9/09 "J is back! While doing her fave game "interview" when asked "who is your favorite mommy?" she said "auntie frances"! Without missing a beat, only added "...and mommy" after noticing my jaw kitting the floor."

11/10/09 " toddler night terrors...would bug me more if they weren't so cute...Two nights of "MY lollipop with the SPECIAL stick! The boy took it." and at 6am today it was "I want to turn the computer off MYSELF!!!" Inconsolable till daddy lead her to the Mac and let her turn the computer on and then off. Hopefully this will wear off when the Pulmicort leaves her system."
