I keep thinking about "finding joy in the journey"...haven't found it yet...at least not today, at least not during this journey...
As much as I do NOT love my toddlers tantrum phase (as seen in the above photo), I'd take it over my lethargic, rapid breathing toddler who I've been worried sick about. After Denise returned from her ER visit, she took Evan for me so I could take Anna back to the doctors.
At first they thought pneumonia, then they mentioned "doing our best to keep her out of the hospital"--nothing a tired, alone and concerned mommy wants to hear.
The conclusion is most likely RSV/Bronchiolitis.
She'll love the albuteral/nebulizer treatments every four hours (even through the night--no joy there) and then a follow up visit tomorrow morning--with strict instructions to take her to the ER if anything changes for the worse.
Keep her in your prayers. You can throw one up for me, too.

No rest for the weary, but this isn't about me (or is it?)...

ack. TOTALLY praying for you guys!!!
Taylor had that when he was almost 5 months old. It was not fun trying to give him the medicine and the treatments. But hang in there.
Poor Andrea. It is no fun to have sick kids especially when hubby is gone. Hope he gets back soon!
Oh man. Hope you have someone close that can help out. I know Denise is great about that. Hope she gets better soon. Many prayers for you both.
Oh Andrea, that sucks! I hope she gets better soon. And I'll say a prayer for your sanity, too.
Sometimes the journey sucks. Sorry it's suckin'. I hope everyone is happy and healthy soon.
Poor thing, hope your night is okay.
Get better soon Anna!!!!!
So sorry Annie and Anna! You must have posted right after I checked yesterday. I remember something similar with Jeff when he was just a few months old. So Scary!!!

Oh, I am so sorry!! That is the worst even with your husband to help, but to do it alone is awful!! I will be sending good thoughts your way.
