[tri-med] Re: Question on breathing issues... chest doing the wave

I've never seen a side to side movement--Soleah has had a deep tugging under 
her ribs but it was more of an up and down wave.  And when she's sick her heart 
rate does speed up and breathing gets more shallow.  How's Hannah doing on the 
meds?

Hope the meds kick in like you hope they will.
