    Yellow Sputum Report:  Threads of yellow sputum mixed with white sputum most of the day, when she coughed stuff up.
    Medication Changes:  Once again, managed to administer only two breathing treatments, both with both. I think I'm going to have to change the timing on these: Since she usually stays up a good four hours from the time that she awakens in the morning until before she naps, I can probably get a straight Albuterol treatment in before her nap, then administer the second dual treatment either after dinner or just before bed. I think it's a good idea to stick with the three treatments a day as long as she is doing a lot of coughing. I also took an extra temp reading tonight. It's hard to say whether it indicates that she's running a low grade fever. Before dinner I asked her if she felt sick. She said no. I asked her if she felt as though she had a cold. She said no. I decided, though, it wouldn't hurt to give her a 325 mg acetaminophen tablet with dinner.
