I had noticed back in March this clear runny nose that has been dripping from the girl's poor nose. She has not complained about it, but all day I am seeing her wipe her nose on her shirt. To this day it is still dripping. Lately she has added in eye rubbing and sneezing. These made me think it was allergies bothering her(since the rest of the family was suffering from them) and keeping her out of a deep sleep. So, I set up an appointment with her allergist. He works at 3 offices between Mukwonago, Waukesha, and Brookfield. We usually go to Brookfield office, however we couldn't get in with him until the end of July. So I called around and was able to get her in yesterday. I wanted to address the issue sooner than later :)
Unfortunately, Ali threw a full blown temper tantrum in the office and was screaming bloody murder. I'm sure they thought I was killing her, when all I wouldn't do was let her out of the stroller :)
The appointment went well. Based on Sammie's symptoms, it sounds like she is allergic to the molds in the air from all the rain and moisture from March to October. Which is why when she had her sleep study, she was fine :) So, we have started her on Singulair with a plan on phasing out the Zyrtek if it works. Two side affects to the Singulair are upset stomach and moodiness. So, if we go through the moodiness, I am gonna pull her off of it, as she is already moody from lack of sleep! Hopefully, we have found the answer to her sleep issues, again!
