Trip to the doctor....

Over the weekend I noticed that Summer was starting to seem pretty congested in her head when she would wake up in the morning and after nap time. I called her Doctor this morning and they wanted to work her in to make sure that it was nothing serious.

Dr. Mills checked her over real well and listened to her lungs for a long time and determined that it was just a little head cold. She said that her lungs sounded great and that most babies will get a cold like this when they start teething and putting everything in sight straight into their mouths.

She suggested that I get Summer a cool-mist humidifier and run it in her bedroom while she sleeps, and to put saline drops in her nose to keep her nasal passages moist. In the meantime we just have to let the cold run its course, and to call if it gets any worse over the next week or two.
So I did exactly what she said and we'll see how things go. I take her for her 4 month check up on January 5th, so lets pray that she is over it by then :)
