Sick Baby

Just a super quick update since we are on the way to church.....you can tell by my lack of posts this week that we have been busy. Caroline has been super sice since Monday. We've been to the Dr once and ER twice. And.....in between that we've been fighting the dr office and insurance for a authorization for a breathing treatment machine. Basically we can get it IF they ever both get their acts together and get the paper work done. This all started as a cold virus and now has turned into something nasty. We're not positive what it is but we've heard RSV and Croup? So the 1st night at the ER was a 7 hour trip...5 hours until we saw even a nurse...and Caoline was diagonised with pnemonia (sp?). Last night was 7 1/2 hours ......4 1/2 hours until we saw a dr, and they changed the diagnosis. They now say no pnemonia and that it is a nasty virus that is deep in her chest and causing her now to not be able to keep anything down. Last night we ran tests and got an IV for fluids. That poor little thing. So, being a virus we just have to wait it out! Sorry to be so brief but we have to get ont he road for church soon. The kids' Chirstmas play is this morning and Maddelyn is Mary and Emma and Caroline get to wear their Halloween costumes to be sheep at the manger! LOL!

I'm so sorry you're having to deal with Caroline being so sick. That is so hard when they're so little. Keep us posted on her recovery!
