Ok so let me start off by saying, I am so sick and tired of Addy being sick and tired! She is seriously in need of a bubble to wrap her in! So here's the story...On Friday night we went swimming with the Barney's. Addy had been at daycare all day with Aunt Tay and was fine. She got home we headed to the swimming pool. She was wild as ever, running, jumping, acting like a normal 4 year old. When we got home she started coughing a little bit. She ate some dinner and went to bed, around 11:30 she woke Tyson up crying and had thrown up. She threw up a few more times that night. The last time she threw up she kept telling me her belly was hurting, which I just figured was because she just got over Strep Throat and had just finished her last day of medicine on Thursday morning. When she had Strep last year she needed another dose of antibiotics after she finished her first round which is what I figured was happening this time. So Saturday morning, Tyson and I took her out to see Dr. Oakden at the clinic to get some antibiotics...I assumed. Once we got there the nurse had told me that her machine must not be warmed up, being we were the first patient of the day, because she couldnt get Addy's oxygen to read high enough! HUH???? We are here for Strep Throat, what's wrong with her oxygen! So after about 25 times of trying to get a reading she sent us in a room and told us she would come back and try to read it. Well she couldnt get it to read over 86 on her oxygen level, and here in Beaver they admit kids to the hospital if they are under 90! So needless to say we seen the Doc, he couldnt get a higher reading than that either so off we went to the hospital. Once there they read it at 86 also so it looked like we were staying for a few days. They put her on oxygen, drew blood, did an RSV/Influenza test, did X-rays and got us checked in. So needless to say we didnt have Strep Throat we ended up having pneumonia/bronchitis. We ended up staying for 2 nights which were not so much fun. I stayed the first night with her and then I had Tyson stay the second night because I was beat! This being pregnant with a sick baby is not so much fun either. So anyway they let us go home on Monday morning which was nice because last year when we were there we ended up staying for 4 days. It was kind of funny, when we got there the nurse said that they were full and so we would just have to get into the next available room which ended up being the same room we stayed in last time. The last time actually ended up being almost a year to the day. We were admitted March 9th of 2011 and this time we were admitted March 31st, 2012. Hopefully this is not a year trend that we fall into. This hospital bills are starting to add up from this little girl and being how we have another baby coming we need to not be sick right now!!!
I forgot all about taking pictures this time around. I am usually pretty good about taking pictures but I snapped one with my phone and Tay snapped two with hers. So the pictures arent very good and I didnt even get any good ones of her.
The first day!
Being spoiled....watching Spongebob on the laptop because it wasnt on the hospital tv.
