Sick Carlee







Carlee became sick Saturday night. She began to run a fever along with her cough and congestion. She was still running fever this morning so we decided she needed to make a trip to see Dr. Green. He said that she had what was going around and that all of them may possibly have it before it was over and that the cough would linger for 2 weeks!! Treatment consists of breathing treatments every 2 hours for first couple of days then we can cut back to every 4 hours, oral steroids twice a day for 5 days then once a day for 5 more days, and cough medicine, which she hates!!
She did so much better with the breathing treatment so far than I anticipated!! I first just let her touch and play with it and held it up to her mouth and nose before I turned the machine on. When I held it up to her mouth she said, "OU, OU!" Like it was going to hurt... so I thought oh this isn't going to be good. But once I turned it own she never made a sound or cried one tear!!! We will see if that lasts....
On another note of sickness Syd also decided she would get the stomach virus last night which lasted from about 9 til 2 in the morning. Thankfully she feels much better today!! Nana took good care of her since she was spending the night with her.... So thankful for Nana!!
Praying we have had our share of sickness for awhile!!
