Théa, "Kinésithérapie", day 2.
So, we went for the second day of treatment for Théa.
It was tough for us and her for around 4 minutes before the whole thing was over.
When she starts crying she just remembers what the doctor did the day before and when she is not crying it is simply because she cannot. The doctor presses and squeezes her thorax while splashing water into her nose. This causes her to get up the bad phlegm inside her...
Personally, I would not like the same treatment but I am sure though that she has forgotten all about it very soon. That's why daddy made this film, so she can hear later on what she had to do as a kid! :)

Kinésithérapie
Hi,
Théa is still coughing and today we followed the doctors recommendation to see a specialist in "kinésithérapie". I was unaware of this type of treatment until today and quite happy to not have known about it as well. I am sure though that it is an effective and good treatment but it is hard on both the child and the parents.
The idea is to remove all bad phlegm ("slem" in swedish) from the thorax and sinus by pressing/massaging the thorax/lungs!? Something that is not very apprecciated by the baby while it is beeing done, Théa cried a lot and so did the kid before her. Luckily the treatment does not take more than 3-5 minutes but it is enough to make the parents close to crying as well. I had to struggle to keep my tears away.
It seemed to do good anyway and a lot of bad substance was removed and Théa quickly became calm again as soon as the doctor stopped.
Tomorrow we have to go there as well for the same thing... in fact the treatment consists of 3 seances/days in a row.
Today while Théa was eating we got a visitor on our backyard phaesant ("Fasan") was walking around and eating some food on our lawn, a beautiful bird!
