cause by RSV. Doctors said she'll be
unwell for 10 days- 3 weeks.
Please send your kind thoughts her way

Oh poor baby! been there , done that! It
is really terrible. get better soon Mika!
Lauren,Bronchitis is
What Is Bronchitis?
Bronchitis is an inflammation of the
bronchial tubes, or bronchi, that bring
air into the lungs. Inflammation is a
chemical reaction in the body that
produces redness, swelling, and pain.
Bronchitis can be caused by:
Viruses
Bacteria
Smoking
Breathing in certain kinds of irritating
chemicals
When the cells lining the bronchi are
irritated, the tiny hairs (cilia) that
normally trap and eliminate things from
the outside stop working. Formation of
material associated with irritation
(inflammation) also increases; causing the
passages to become clogged.There is
currently no cure for chronic bronchitis.
Most treatment is focused on making the
symptoms less severe and trying to prevent
further damage.Types Of Bronchitis
There are two types of bronchitis:
Acute bronchitis usually lasts only a few
days. It is often caused by a viral
infection and may begin after you develop
a cold or sore throat. It usually produces
no long-lasting, harmful effects.
Chronic bronchitis is diagnosed when a
person has too much phlegm in the airways,
which leads to a persistent, productive
cough. An individual is considered to have
chronic bronchitis if cough and sputum
(matter that is coughed up from the lungs)
are present on most days for a minimum of
three months for at least two successive
years, or for six months during one year.
Chronic bronchitis is often neglected
until it is in an advanced state, because
people mistakenly believe that the disease
is notserious. But prompt medical
attention will reduce the risk of damage
to the lungs.
Facts About Bronchitis
Over 14 million cases of chronic
bronchitis are reported each year in the
U.S.
According to research, 80% to 90% of all
emphysema and chronic bronchitis cases are
caused by smoking.
Most people don't realize they have
chronic bronchitis until they're 40 or
older.
Women and people who live in the southern
United States are more likely to get
chronic bronchitis.

just a quick update. We came home this
morning but i'm pretty sure i'll be taking
her back later, we only cme home because
Mika couldn't settle down and go to sleep
at the hospital so the nurse suggested
vringing her home so she knows where she
is and then call later if she's still not
feeding or her breathing gets worse. So
far she's fed twice for less than 5mins
each time, refuses solids and water and
her breathing isn't good at all she has to
be upright at all times or she chokes.
I'll let you know via becky or lauren
whats going to happen but if we go back in
it will probably be a intravinous drip or
a feeding tube via her nose
