    It’s 100% okay to take breaks from filming! Nothing wrong with that! You could also tell your birth stories for the boys if you haven’t yet! Or tell us about your wedding and you and Josh before kiddies ❤

Even if you think that you don't have anything interesting to say at this point in your life, I assure you that there is a large group of people here for whom it is always valuable. You are so real and that is so rare on the internet. I hug you tightly! ❤️

    I can certainly relate to those days when you just want to crawl back into bed and sleep till the next morning in the hopes of waking up in a better mood. Glad to see in the comments that Avery has been referred to a respiratory specialist. Hopefully they can come up with something to help her get over this cough.

    Aww , sending love and hugs to you my dear . It’s perfectly fine to take a break from filming ,you are exhausted with worry for darling Avery’s health ! This is what I I would do is demand a chest X-ray to see if there is improvement and also have them culture her sputum. She may need a change in antibiotic therapy . Also if she is throwing up , she may also be silently aspirating . If she gets resp treatments I would also do them more frequently . I don’t know if she gets chest pt , but that would be good to do . These are just suggestions to try to help . ❤

    I really pray that Avery is better soon, this cough has been going on for so long her chest must be really painful. Please don’t worry about filming, don’t put too much pressure on yourself as this must be so hard for you, both physically, having to get up so early in the mornings, and emotionally.

    You are a wonderful mother Chrissy. Im glad to hear from other comments that Avery will be seeing a respiratory specialist- fingers crossed you get some answers soon.
    Please don’t feel guilty about taking breaks from filming, you’re only human and a busy one at that. However please know that we (your viewers) love whatever you post. Your daily life is relatable for many and for others we just enjoy your company and love to see your sweet family.
    Be kind to yourself and take breaks when you can- the yuck weather we’ve been having doesn’t help mood or motivation either.

    The thing is, a person that can walk and move is able to get those secretions out of their lungs by natural movement. With her just laying all the time and not being able to walk or be upright, she’s going to be way more compromised and unable to clear the secretions. If anything, she should be doing more therapy at this point if she no longer has a fever to try to get body movement in her to possibly break up secretions in her chest that aren’t being able to be cleared. People in her condition get chronic coughs often and often can’t get rid of them. There’s likely nothing much a medical appointment or medical staff are going to be able to do about it. At the most another chest x-ray to see if there’s an infection but if there isn’t, then there probably isn’t a way to stop the coughing.

    Oh bless you, its awful when something lasts this long, you are doing the right thing brushing her teeth, as the acid from the vomit is really bad for teeth, and the taste will be awful. Only thing I can suggest is keeping her upright as much as you can, and it sounds like the mucus is still thick, her muscles will be working overtime, but that's obviously not hurting her, think how relieved you will be when this is over, and life goes back to how it was xxx

    That whole thing about the coughing strengthening her core makes sense. Because they tell you to breathe in then breathe out and hold your tummy muscles which if you try it it’s similar to the beginning of a cough! ❤ pray she gets better asap! Don’t worry about brushing her teeth! She doesn’t eat anyways so some breaks are totally fine ❤ my kids take eat by mouth skips days alllll the time. They’re baby teeth anyways

    It’s really hard when kiddos are sick, extra stressful for sure! Don’t worry about filming. Her cough sounds very croupy, I wonder if they checked for that? I would be worried as well, I would be afraid we (parents &doctors) were missing something. I think that’s totally normal feeling when we have sick kids. Hopefully she will turn a corner soon!

  • @Hometeam683
    @Hometeam683 Рік тому +1

    And I’m only going on what I see in your videos, but the way you often hold her to be honest the bottom half of her lungs are probably not able to get great air or expand properly so she can’t get a really good cough to get and clear those lungs out if that makes any sense. Being in her stander would probably be the best thing for her and it’s actually why she probably coughs so much in it because she’s actually able to open her lungs and try to get the stuff out of them. I hope that makes sense

  • @preynoldsja

    Crissy just seeing Avery is good enough for us. No need to worry about not having enough content to film. Also, some of us prefers short videos....so, during this period (when not much is happening) you may want to just do some short videos (just a suggestion).
    As it relates to brushing her teeth, you can try using a rag or gauze to clean her mouth /teeth especially after she has vomited because it can cause her teeth to go bad as you mentioned....maybe this will be less stressful on both you and Avery.

    Yes, when she vomits, those stomach acids are in contact with her teeth. Crissie, just take a break from the videos for now. When I have bronchitis, that's how I cough, even till I vomit. I'm worried maybe she has a viral pneumonia. Can you request chest films? Just to be sure there hasn't been any aspiration from the vomiting. Sweet girl, I love her so much. Keep her more upright when you can. Sending love and prayers. You are justified to feel the way you do, you're burned out with her being sick for so long. See if Josh can come home and help you. I can hear the exhaustion in your voice.💜🙏😢
