Although this gives an idea of what the chamber is like, the little patient in the picture is nothing like our little patient. Ours does not readily put her face into the mask and inhale the mist from the chamber ... quite the opposite, in fact. Its been traumatic for all of us but hopefully it will help her heal and get better soon. And most importantly, we hope she has no recollection of this whole episode. Just in case, we are taking turns administering the inhaler to her so that she hates mommy and daddy equally instead of just one of us being the bad guy ;)

Bronchiolitis
Took Brooke into the doctor for a few various things and were told she has bronchiolitis. This explains the sleepless nights and nasty sounding cough. We were prescribed an inhaler and also a chamber she needs to use in order to actually get the mist from the inhaler.
