Croup Complications, Again

 
Ella got Croup again with her cold.  She typically starts the ryder breathing halfway through the night and wakes up with it in the morning.  Some mornings her inhaler is not enough to open the airway.  I can tell when her breathing is really bad because she pulls her legs up, I wonder if other kids do that too?
This was one of those mornings.  Poor miserable Ella. 
We got to the ER and they took us straight back where Erik immediately tried to cheer everyone up! 
They gave Ella breathing treatments and liquid steroid in grape juice, yuck!  Starting to feel better, see the legs down now?
Lots of waiting... 
Twin brothers are great for stealing your apple juice!  I know, I know, germs.  The twins share a room, so they pretty much share germs already. 
Catching some early morning ZZZzzzzs.  After a quick nap, the doctors came in and released her to go home. 
By lunch Ella was feeling better and wanted some food.  I got her a sprite on the way home from Subway too!  She is back to 100% this morning, just in time for Thanksgiving!
