So, teething is a challenge don't get me wrong, but I was reminded today that it's important to look at the whole picture. We ended up taking Mason to the doctor today because we wanted to make sure nothing else was going on. Sure enough, there was. He probably has some fluid on his lungs again, making it hard to breathe. He had outgrown his diuretic dose by quite a bit, so of course he's having a hard time breathing. Duh, Mommy!
Thankfully, we have a fantastic medical team working with us who realize that we usually have a good handle on knowing what Mason needs. The nurse who talked to Bill today didn't question him when he asked for lab work - she just asked "which ones." We were able to come in and get the lab work before seeing the doctor so he had the results. Thankfully, our wonderful pediatrician did some math before we even showed up and had new doses of the diuretic medication ready for us. Thankfully, Daddy and the doctor can look at the big picture, can pull Mommy out of her stupor, and help her realize that it's not all about teething!
With the increased dose of diuretics, hopefully things will settle out fairly quickly and Mason can go back to breathing more easily and those teeth will break through soon enough so that we can go back to "normal" and continue weaning off of the steroids!

aDon't be too hard on Mommy. She is doing the best she can, and working full time. Cut her some slack, she deserves it.
Glad you realized it was diuretics and can increase them. Wishing you the best!
