Not a fun week for us


So, Halloween seemed pretty fun, until that night. We put Isabel to bed at about 7:45. By 8:30 she was screaming and acting like should could not breath. We thought she was beeing a stinker, so we made her go back to bed. At 10:30 we finally decided to go to the ER becasue she was really struggling with breathing and was kind of sounding like a dog barking. By the time we got to the ER she was breathing fine and was no longer coughing. It was weird, but we thought she must not be sick, so we went back home without being seen. Then at about 11:30, after she had cried for another 30 minutes, Ryan got scared because again she was acting like she could not breath, so he took her to the ER. She had croup. They gave her a steriod to open her airway and she seemed to be feeling better instantly. Ryan and Isabel got home at about 2:30 in the morning. For the next 3 days she was not herself, but feeling better. Well, then yesterday she would not take her naps and was so fussy. SO, we decided to go to KidsCare before they close so we wouldn't have to go to the ER again. Well, now she has a double ear infection. How fun, huh? It's one thing after another. She never gets sick, but when she does it all comes at once. So, we are on lots of drugs and taking it easy.

OH how horrible! Kids are so sweet when they are sick and need their mom and dad. I feel so horrible that she had the croup-that's a bad one. And ear infections at the same time-just get it over with now!! Poor little babe!
