Tis the season...

For colds and other sickness. Maleigha developed a cough a few days ago. Yesterday morning as I was getting ready for work I noticed she was wheezy. Kelly emailed me and said the same thing so I decided to call the dr. Of course since she was wheezy they wanted to see her. The DR could hear fluid but didn't know if it was in her lungs or not. So they put some saline up her nose and used a powered suction and sucked out some of her boogers. It did make her sound better but you could still hear the wheezing. The DR diagnosed her with Bronchiolitis. If her oxygen level was low they were going to admit her and give her oxygen. Luckily it was 100%. So I left with instructions of just watching her breathing and if she struggled to take her into the ER that night. We did have a rough night and there were a few times I thought I may have to take her in but decided against it. She was up from 2-430 just laying there awake. She would randomly wake up and cry throughout the night. Poor baby. So I stayed home from work today to be with her. She is already taking a nap and I should be taking advantage of this time to do some cleaning. The doctor did say if anyone over the age of 1 catches it that it would just be a bad cold. Hopefully Kylee doesn't catch it!

Oh Kim, I'll be keeping you guys in my prayers. I know how hard it is to watch your kids struggle to breath. Let us know how she'd doing and where's the post about her crawling. Although i better make sure haven't already posted it and I just missed it. ;o)

Glad that she is doing better. Let me know if you need anything.
