In the middle of the Hurricane Ike craziness our little Brooky started coming down with a cold. The cold quickly turned into a bad upper resporatory infection and then to Croup. Last weekend we took her in to the ER when she could literally barely breath, it was so scary I can not even explain it. The scariest part was signing in at the Emergency Room and them not even letting us sit down, we were sent straight back and had a Dr and a resporatory Specialist in the room within five minutes. They gave her steroids and motrin then ended up releasing her a couple hours later.
Sunday came around and by about 12:00 Brooklyn was worse off then the night before. Chad immedialy took her to the hospiatl again. They brought her straight back to the dr just like the night before. We lucked out that we got the same dr who had previously seen her, he gave hersome more Steroids and started the process of admiting her. Around 6:00 am Chad and Brooklyn were finally in there hospiatl room. Brooklyn had to stay in a little mist tent the entore time, she also had a IV placed on the top of her hand...after they had allready tried to get one at her elbow :(. She was finally released Tuesday about 9:00 pm, and so far has done ok.
OH~! and to top it off, I had a call from my sister on Monday when Brooky was still in the hospital telling me Kaylee was having trouble breathing!!!! Ya, that's right...I almost had a breakdown, but I took her to the dr for steroids while Chad stayed with Brooklyn at the Hospital. Luckily the meds worked on Kaylee unlike Brooky.
Thanks for all the calls of encouragement and help. I could not have made it with out my friends and family.
