Anna still has a cough. Some days are better than others and today happens to be a good day. The good news is her respiration rate is on her low side, she does not have retractions and her lungs sound clear after therapy. She has a cough, but she is not struggling to breathe. Anna is still getting 3 therapy sessions daily and our goal is to get her down to one session a day. Wende and I are able to tell when it is getting time for a therapy session: her breathing gets noisy.

Our doctor wants us to look into improving the air quality in our home speculating she may have allergies.  I have an allergen highest rating air filter in our furnace blower and have covered the vents with filters as well.  I am looking into buying a couple air-filtration units for the house. Does anyone have any experience with these and can recommend a particular brand or type?
