-After spending Thursday with a sick baby, this girl took a bad turn. She stopped eating and her breathing became incredibly labored. Friday morning we went to the UCC. We spent the morning there getting breathing treatments, having blood drawn, and getting some x-rays. Around 1 on Friday it was decided she was going to need more attention and we were transported (ambulance ride) to St. Lukes Children's hospital. She did very well on the transport slept most of the way. Once there we were admitted and she was given more oxygen and lots of little monitors, and an IV. She received a breathing a treatment every 2 hours (which she did not like) throughout Friday and most of Saturday. Saturday around 7 PM we were released to go home. Elle still gets breathing treatments every 4 hours and 2 doses of steroids (for a few days) and a preventive medicine for the next.....few month or years. She slept through most of the night, minus the times I woke her up for her meds. Now she is eating and playing. Right now she is doing awesome (taking a nap with dad)-
Elle refused to keep the oxygen in her nose, so the nurses put these cute stickers on her cheeks she still didn't keep it in.
-Chilling with dad-
-She is obsessed with brushing her teeth-
-After we were told we were going home-
-The diagnosis is that Elle has asthma brought on by colds, change of weather, or allergies.-
