Rebecca had a cold a little over 3 weeks ago. It wasn't bad and didn't last long at all. But the cough has hung around ever since. So we called the pediatrician and he said to come in just to be safe. Turns out Rebecca has a bunch of build up in her sinuses/drainage from her ear. Her nose is too plugged for it to drain out (the Dr. noticed that her nose wasn't running even though she was crying hard...yes, she still HATES the doctor's office, no matter how quick of a trip it is), so it drains into her throat when she's laying down (the reason she coughs when she's sleeping/just gets up). And the cough will stick around until we can get her nose cleared up. So she's on antibiotics and cough medicine for a few days. Hopefully that will do the trick and we can be done with the cough!
The Dr. also said the bump over her eye (from hitting her head a month ago) is nothing to be worried about. It's just a very deep bruise that is still healing. It can take months.
We're thankful that both problems weren't anything major. It'll just take a little more time for her to be 100% back to normal :)
