A long night


I thought that a sick 4 year old was bad enough but I was wrong...an almost 2 year old with a fever spiking near 105 is definately worse...
After numerous phone calls to the nurses line, they finally gave us the ok to go to the hospital! Sometimes I really hate the hoops we have to jump thru to get medical care, but I know we are luck to have the coverage at all. When all was said and done, R has a bad case of the croup, her fever was down and she's acting more herself. THANKYOU GOD! Last night seemed to last forever and I know it was only a matter of a few hours. We got home around 4:30 am and have been just taking it easy ever since...Thanks for all the prayers that were/are going out our way!
I couldn't help but take this picture on my cell phone...she was such a trooper and looked so sweet there sleeping in the ER. I have never been to glad to see her eyes brighten and her skin a normal shade!

Glad to know she is okay. ER's are no fun and for a while I thought we might as well move into one since we were there so often. Hope things only get better from here.
