Treatment

Acid reflux medicine - twice daily
Antibiotics - once daily
Enzymes - every time she eats
Salt - once daily
Nebulizer - three times daily
Thumping - after nebulization
Zithromax (I couldn't remember what this was) - once daily

This is basically the regimen for the present time. Ann and my Mom have been amazing in diligently carrying it out. I try to help too. The thumping is especially difficult. You have to thump around her lungs with a plastic thing for about 10-12 minutes. Babies don't like being thumped for that many minutes, if any. When she's about three there is a vest that we can use instead of thumping her. Its been an adjustment but all of a sudden Mary Deane is sleeping through the night and taking three hour naps. This is still a tough situation but the glass if definitely half full.
