I'm baaaaaaaaaaaack!!!!!!!!!!

I think I have been taken over by a facebook addiction. I get on the computer just long enough to check facebook and off again. No blogging. I know I have plenty of things to blog about but just don't take the time to type them out. Or I wonder am I giving more info than others want to know. I don't know I don't have a very exciting life but it is busy and I love it!

We are having a bit of deja vu this week. We have enjoyed this year of Kolette not getting very sick so much. She has had pneumonia twice this season but both times it was a rather mild version and it didn't knock her down. I foolishly thought maybe she is growing out of the rough stuff.

However Sunday night she got a fever and was feeling miserable. So I took her to the doc on Mon and he said her lungs sounded clear just could hear her asthma. So after a miserable Mon night I took her in for a x-ray Tues morn. She actually felt fine when we got to the hospital. She was on a Motrin/albuteral high and walked in all by herself showed me where the admissions desk was and also to the radiation waiting room. No one would guess she was sick. So I talk to the doctor a few hours later and he says she has pneumonia in her upper left and right lungs and also in the middle lobe. Puts her on 2 antibiotics. I am thinking ok we will be fine. But she had the worst time breathing that night. I resisted w/everything in me to not call the doc at home that night. No you won't be that mom I kept telling myself. She had a fever during the night but the rapid breathing more than twice what it should be when she didn't have the fever was scaring me and when she got her fever of 104.2 at 4am and her breathing was so fast I didn't even want to count coz i feared I would have to take her to the hospital. However I nebbed her and we made it thru to the morn at home. Anyhow her fever went away and I took her in to the doc again. He o2 kinda sucked and so he put her on prednisilone. I hate the idea of steroids but I hate a sick kid even worse. Sooooooooooooooooooooo we are on the mend now and I am so glad. He wants us to see a pediatric pulminologist. Only thing is they don't have any around here so we would have to go to Portland or Salt Lake. I guess I better get to looking. Thanks for listening to my babbling. I will try to not be so long next time or quite so long winded:o)
