.: scary days..

So Maddie had been coughing for a few days after having strep, and she seemed to be getting worse so I brought her in to the doctor. Well it was the scariest doctor visit I have ever had! When the nurse listened to Maddies heart she looked at me, didn't say anything, and went and got the doctor...hello way to panic a mom!! Doctor Hughes came in and immediately checked her pulse ox (no clue how to spell that) which meant her oxygen level was low, she was put on a nebulizer for about 10 minutes and then they checked her oxygen levels again which were still low. At this point they said if her levels didn't go up after the next breathing treatment then she would be admitted......OK I am in FULL HYSTERIA MODE!!!! The worst was calling Steve to tell him what was going on as I had a screaming baby at the doctors, we all know how calm Steve can be in these situations....We were sent home with a nebulizer of our own. After a very long night, and more wheezing we went back to the doctor on Friday. We were told to increase her breathing treatments to every few hours ( including nighttime...eeeek!) and she was giving a dose of steroids to help her lungs. I have no medical background or training of every kind, and anyone who knows me knows throw me a cold, stomach bug, allergies, anything but breathing issues!!!! Today is Saturday and I don't think Steve or I have put Maddie down for longer than 5 minutes. She is finally feeling better, eating more, trying to play with Olivia, who for the first time ever seems to take an interest in her sister....Its been a few scary days but we have had a lot of people praying for us and it has worked:)
