Found out today that these two are full sisters (biologically) 😁 We suspected as much, but now we know for sure. They have been and always will be double sisters!! 💕🤟

First Day of School!! ✅💕

Bubba gets to check an item off his bucket list....going outside to explore! He can't get over-exerted, but after the initial WHAAA?! from his sweet face, he was as calm as could be, exploring the backyard with his sisters! 💕

I've debated posting anything about this because I still don't have answers, but it's not easy to hide anymore, so here's what I'm able to tell of this story.

I woke up one morning in March with a persistant cough that hasn't left me since. No illness, no COVID, no obstruction of any kind to cause it. It just appeared.

I've been to doctors, had several tests done, x-rays, pulmonary function, etc. and still no definitive cause. Either tests come back clear or inconclusive.

We're still on the path to diagnosis and I'm getting as many second and third opinions as possible and seeing as many specialists as I can, but appointments are hard to come by and unfortunately, I'm beginning to struggle to breathe. It's disrupting my daily life and it won't be long until everyone notices. Hence this post.

I'm not yet really worried since we're trying everything, we've ruled out some truly gnarly things, and no doctor has given up on me, it just takes time and I'm uncomfortable. Medicines and inhalers aren't working. The only thing that gives me some relief is my nebulizer, which I use with Albuterol.

Unfortunately, I have crippling anxiety and using the nebulizer makes it worse in the moment (go figure). I've also noticed it makes me have more psychogenic tremors in the moment too (yay), so while a nebulizer is relaxing for some, it's nerve-wracking for me (plus it's just loud lol and I'm Deaf).

The coughing disrupts everything and every friggin person hears me and is like "OMG SHE HAS COVID RUN AWAY!" so that's fun. Plus, ladies, we all know what happens when you cough too much or too hard. The worst. Like, THE. WORST.

I'll keep y'all updated of course but for those who see me often, I can't get you ill (haha) and please, try not to worry, I'm working on it. I'm getting desperate for relief so I won't be giving up until I know what's wrong and how to fix it/manage it.

Until then, please be patient with me as I won't be very active, cheery, or out and about as usual. It simply takes a lot out of me and I have to rest a lot. Thank you for reading my story as I know it right now. I love y'all. 🤟💕
