Ella caught a nasty virus that resulted in Croup for her. She lasted 2 nights, but then on the third day she was still having trouble breathing in the morning. She was turning blue around the lips and her fingers as I was throwing boys into the van! The cold air helped a little bit, but the ER Drs took her straight back!
She had 2 breathing treatments and a dose of liquid steroids as well. Once she could breathe, she fell asleep. Uncle John came to take the boys to school for me so I could stay with Ella. A couple hours later Angie came to visit Ella too! Both sets of Grandparents were on vacation & still are!
Once she was back on track, the ER Drs released her with an updated inhailer prescription and we headed back home to let her crash for the day. It turns out that her old inhailer, the one we use twice a year in the winter for Croup, was expired! Poor thing was getting just air puffs instead of actual medicine. Ella is completely healed, Mommy however is suffering from a tonsil infection now!
