Is It Reflux Or Is It Asthma??

Mommy and Daddy took me to the doctor again this morning because I still have my cough. I was happy at the doctor's office because Mommy told me that they weren't going to give me any shots. However, the doctor wanted an xray of my chest so Daddy carried me off to the xray machine (with Mommy in tow). Once we got in the room, Mommy said the contraption they needed to put me in looked like a medieval torture chair. I will have you know, it is a modern day baby torture chair. Can you believe that they sat me on this little tiny seat with my feet dangling then closed this big old tube around me with my arms sticking up over my head!!! I was furious!!!! Mommy rescued me though. I was very happy to be out of that contraption and back in Mommy's arms. Daddy tried to hold me but I was mad at him! Anyway, the doctor says I either have reflux or asthma. I suppose it could be both. Mommy and Daddy are hoping for simple reflux. Mommy suspects reflux more than anything because my coughing really only happens when I am picked up from the laying position or while eating or closely there after. Turns out though that asthma may be in the genes. That's okay though. I am sure that my world won't be limited by asthma if I have it! Auntie Tedi says that if I do have asthma, Mommy should get me a horn or something to work my lungs and help them get stronger. The doctor gave me two different medicines...one for each problem...let's hope they work.

Now the weight situation....I weighed 17 lbs 9 ounces last Tuesday. From Wednesday through Saturday, I had a very small appetite (like 1/3 of my normal intake) yet today I weighed 18 lbs 5 ounces!! Not bad, eh??? Mommy about fell over when she seen that I have gained almost a pound in a week. For the record, I have tried sweet potatoes, bananas and apple sauce. Mommy insists on making me try new things but I need her to understand that I only want apple sauce!
