Sick Little Girl…

We have had one sick little girl on our hands the past week!  We took Emery to the doctor two Sundays ago for a bad cough, fever, and some wheezing.  Dr. Kunkle told us she had bronchiolitis, and sent us away with some medicine and specific instructions to come back if her breathing got worse.  Well…this over protective Mom kept thinking every day that her breathing was worse, so on Friday I called and made her another appointment for that afternoon.  Unfortunately I got hit hard with the stomach flu while at work Friday, so Brad had to play Mr. Mom and take her to the doctor Friday.  She was panting, and having a pretty hard time breathing, so they gave her a nebulizer, and we found out she had an ear infection to top it all off.

I’m realizing how spoiled I am to have a happy baby most of the time.  I don’t know what to do with a fussy baby…she is absolutely pitiful!!

The nebulizer is really helping though, and she is definitely on the mend!  She started off hating doing the treatments, but she has warmed up to it, and she will just sit on my lap and let me read to her…very sweet!!
