Hailey's new lungs


Hailey has been sick off and on for the past few weeks.
It's mostly been a cold and cough.
She had a lot of rough nights where the cough would keep her up and last night it was so bad that I almost packed up and brought her to the ER around 1:30.
I decided to wait it out until morning and decided to take the day off to get her checked out.
When she woke up this morning (after her two hours of sleep) she seemed better- breathing was a little bit slower and she didn't seem to be struggling so much- but each time she would cough she would start whimpering and crying.

My heart was officially broken.

We went to see Dr Kelly today and within a few minutes he confirmed that she was wheezing on both sides and would need nebulizer treatments every 4-6 hours for the next few days.

After her appointment I asked her if she wanted to go and have lunch at McDonalds.
"No, Wendy's!   pause   with me daddy!"
Brian was able to sneak away for lunch and Hailey was SUPER excited to see him when he pulled into the parking lot.
She did great with her treatments!
Hope she kicks this thing soon.....

Poor little Hailey. And poor Mommy too. Nico's had to do those nebulizers off and on before. They usually help. She didn't cough at all tonight.

Oh I forgot to add that the part about Daddy is so cute!

And I agree - Wendy's over McD's any day! She has good taste :)

Oh that is so heartbreaking - I hate when Violet is sick. What a nice treat - to have lunch with mommy and daddy? That's worth a trip to the doctor's office for sure!
