A first and hopefully last!
Our little miss had her first (and hopefully last) ER visit on Thursday night. We got a call late on Thursday afternoon from her teacher at daycare saying she was running a temp and coughing. We took her to quick care after work and they said she had bronchitis. They gave her an inhaler, baby z-pack and a steroid. The pharamist said she would be feeling better in no time. We got her home at 6:30 pm and gave her the meds and she got sick. Super sick--vomiting three times. We called the doctor and they said to let her rest and try again after she wakes up. We woke her up at 10 pm and tried the meds again. We knew her body needed them. She immediately got sick. We called the doctor again and while we were waiting for a call back her breathing began to become very rapid and she was so lethargic. We immediately drove her to the ER and while we were in the waiting room the doctor called back and recommend we come in--thankfully we were already there!
I was SO happy they got her right in--this is me, relieved to get her some help!
Ainsley's heart was racing and her pulse ox was in the low 90s. They did a chest x-ray and as Ryan and I were holding her for the x-ray, I prayed that God would take good care of her and heal her little body because she has been through too much for an 8 month old. Thankfully her lungs here clear. They said she was dehydrated from getting so sick after the meds. They got her hydrated--her heart then resumed back to normal. They have her some meds to make her more comfortable and we were able to take her home around 3:30 am.
We rested on Friday and today--and she has responded wonderfully to the baby z-pack (antibiotics). She has her fiestyness back--which we love. We are going to take it easy this weekend and keep the meds coming (we have a chart to help us track everything). Hopefully she'll be all better by Monday.
We are SO ready for everyone to be well so we can enjoy our first summer with Ainsley. This is a picture from today--can you see the sparkle is back in her eyes? We are so thankful for that!
