Sad to See


Adelaide woke up Monday morning quite sick and having a hard time breathing. She wasn't talking much because it took so much work. If she did, she'd do it on an exhale because it took all the air she had. We were lucky enough to get in to see her doctor that morning. She had a breathing treatment done at the office, and we were sent home with a machine so we could continue treatments at home. That helped a ton. Right after the albuterol, we could see a big difference. She could breathe better and seemed to have more energy. Amazingly enough, we only had to do one more treatment later that evening. We thought we'd be up alot throughout the night, but Adelaide slept right through and woke up the next morning alot better. She now is breathing fairly normally and just seems to have a bad cold. We're so thankful it wasn't worse. We'll have to watch out for continued breathing issues like this though because Rocky had childhood asthma and breathing treatments were a regular occurrence for him growing up.

Oh my word! Breathing treatments??!! Poor baby. Poor Mommy and Daddy too. I'm saying a prayer for your little family.

Such a bummer...we've had to do this quite a bit w/ Munchkin too. The cedar really gets her, she's hacking her head off as we speak.
Hope she stays better!
