Today I was put back in a place I dont like, giving my kids Nebulizer treatments. 4 of us 5 have a nasty cold. Sammie and I started it and then it went to Ali and finally Dash. Sammie, Ali, and I have all had a cough that gets pretty bad, but Ali's took a turn for the worst this morning(after a rough night of waking up 4 times). She was coughing so hard that I thought she was going to throw up. Her face was turning really red as she was coughing. I felt horrible for her. So I went and asked my mom her thoughts if she thought I should take her or not and she said she thought so. Part of me just wanted to wait it out since Sammie and I got worse before better. But I am thankful that I went and have now found out that these treatments are what she needs right now. She almost fell asleep during her first treatment at the Dr's office! And after her cat nap she was the smiley happy Ali that has been missing for a bit. Unfortunately the medicine wore off after 2 hours! I could tell the differance in sound as well as her crankieness! The pharmacist said she could only have the medicine every 6-8 hours where her dr today said every 4-6 and every 2 if need be. So I need to call and verify what I can do. My goal here is to get her improved even a little by Thursday so that she doesnt have to go on a steriod. If she's anything like Dash when he was on his, he was purely EVIL. I am very thankful this time around to be borrowing a mask that fits and honestly I feel better doing it the second time around since I am experienced, but I dont enjoy my kids having to have these done. But, I guess if it makes her feel and breath better than you will find me on the couch holding my baby girl watching God Made Me breathing through a duck mask(thank you donnie and tracy) and feeling better.
Thank you Jesus for never leaving my side :)
