X-Ray

This morning Darcy had x-rays taken of her sinus cavities and adenoids. She was very good and sat still while we moved her head this way and that to get just the right angle. She was fascinated by the little protective blanket they put over her and that Mommy had to wear one, too.

After struggling with her cough for more than two months, we are exploring the possibility that there is more than a virus at work. Her pediatrician is trying to figure out whether it is a chronic sinus infection, enlarged adenoids, allergies or asthma (or some combination of these). Whatever it is, we would just like to know so we'll know how to treat it and make her more comfortable. We'll keep you posted.

Update: Darcy definitely has a sinus infection, though we won't know for a while about the allergies or asthma.
