Hospital

Abby had another rough weekend.  On Friday evening she started coughing really bad and couldn't breathe well, and we could hear her wheezing.  So after calling our on-call pediatrician, we were instructed to go into the Dell Children's ER.  This happened at 11:30pm at night....by 4:30am after not responding to 3 hours worth of breathing treatments, she was admitted to the hospital on the intermediary floor (not ICU, but not a regular room either).

Fortunately by the next morning she started coming around and the treatments were working.  Her lungs sounded good, so they decided to discharge us with an inhaler to use for the next 24 hours.  Her diagnoses after x-rays and evaluations was an asthmatic attack.  She does not have asthma, at least not yet.  If this happens again, she will be classified as officially having asthma...but we are hoping this was a one time thing caused by our crazy weather this year  (80 one day, 30 and ice the next) and the bad allergy season.

My poor sweet girl.
