Fishy Treatment

We have been sorta sickly around here for the past week. Yucky coughs and headaches and sore throats and all that nasty stuff has been plaguing us. When Caleigh gets sick, she tends to start wheezing right away. Thus, we break out our "fishy treatment." This is what Caleigh calls her nebulizer. When she was about 9 months old, the doctors office gave us a nebulizer for the first time. I must admit that I was a bit intimidated by this machine at first. Especially since my husband was the one who got the machine as well as the instructions on how to use it and I had no idea what to do with it. Thankfully, it came with a video tutorial and I can remember watching it with my dad to figure out how to work the thing. I was so scared I was going to put it together wrong or not give it to her in the right way or even clean the thing wrong and cause even more problems. The nebulizer came with a mouthpiece and a mask. The mask has the design of a fish on it and Caleigh called it "fishy". So, the term "fishy treatment" was coined and has stuck around since.
