We Can't Catch A Break!

Charley slept all night Friday night and we had a fun family day planned to enjoy the nice weather.  Charley looked so cute in her A&M outfit and boots!  We just had to stop by the doctor to maybe get a new antibiotic for her ear infection and then we were headed to lunch and shopping!
When we got to the doctor they checked her oxygen levels and they were really low.  They did two breathing treatments but her levels stayed the same so they told us to go to the children's ER.  We were shocked!  She seemed no sicker than usual.
Once we got to the hospital and all the treatments started, she seemed much sicker and was really lethargic. I'm still not sure what changed.
They admitted us to the PICU so she could have breathing treatments every 2 hours and continual monitoring.
I was so upset at how our day had turned out!  I was a crying mess and I made Bryan stay the night with her.  She slept great there and was able to get her O2 levels up and keep them there.

We were discharged Sunday morning and have been doing breathing treatments every 4 hours. She has lots of medicines and is supposed to go see a pediatric pulmonologist about her cough.
Jackson was so, so good all weekend which was such a relief.  He really loved Ronald McDonald.  

I was home with her today and Bryan has to get her early from day care tomorrow  for a doctor appointment.  Hopefully she checks out fine and we can move on from this.  It's been 5 weeks since we started school and every week has had some ordeal we had to deal with.  I am ready for a normal week and I really need it to recharge!  I'm done with the sickies!!!
