Hannah just has an ear infection in the left ear. So it most likely is draining down into the back of her throat while she is sleeping, and that is what is making her cough and wake up. She has always had a little phlegmy issue at nighttime on her back, so this just exacerbated it. Thank goodness I took a video of it to show Dr. B. because before he saw that, he was very concerned about this being a GD neuro symptom (swallowing difficulties, etc.) But once he saw that, he looked so relieved and was like “Oh, this doesn’t really concern me at all!” Phew 🙂 I was so happy after we found out it was an ear infection likely causing it.
Just some antibiotics, and we go back in two weeks for a recheck! Phew 🙂
Awwww.. I hope she feels better soon!

I can’t remember how many times I thought the same thing, and I rushed to the doctor to only find out that she had an ear infection. I know how you feel. It is not easy, but you are doing a great job.
funny that an ear infection is something to celebrate, but GREAT that it isn’t something more serious. Congrats on your fundraising efforts..

Sorry about the ear infection, but sure glad that is all it is. 🙂
Blegh, ear infections! Connor’s had a whole bunch of those, though luckily they’ve tapered off in the past year. They do make the little ones miserable!
Hope she feels better soon.
