Back to our old self again

Sorry it's been a while; we've been a little under the weather lately.... Saturday, Paisley was having a little trouble breathing and was taking several extremely short breaths, even not breathing for a few seconds. After our 5th trip to the doctor that week, we ended up at the emergency room due to doctor's orders.

Once we got there and got the IV and oxygen set up, her fever started to go down and she became a LOT less lethargic. Later that night we finally got into a room with a little more privacy than sitting in the emergency room holding tank!


It was awfully hard to stay occupied with an IV attached to her arm!


But she had this really neat crib that was about 3 feet off the floor and looked like a jail cell. She loved that thing! I really wanted to bring it home....


Paisley and Jeff....Like I said, we tried playing with EVERYTHING we could. We even blew up rubber gloves, hit aluminum foil balls, and played patty-cake like a zillion times!


Even through all that, she was the best patient ever! The finally came to the conclusion that she has a respiratory distress disease (it's not as bad as it sounds...). It's not viral like pneumonia, but she's too young to diagnose it as asthma. Hopefully with breathing treatments and the medicines he gave her, we'll get this knocked out in time for her birthday party!

Thank you everyone that called, prayed, visited, or anything during our stay at the hospital. We really appreciate it!!!
