We're home. They let us go about 4 p.m. today. They sent us home with a breathing treatment machine and a bunch of medicine. I had to sit down and map out the medication/breathing treatment schedule for the next few days.
4 a.m. Breathing Treatment with medicine #1
7 a.m. antibiotic #1
8 a.m. breathing treatment - medicine #2
10 a.m. breathing treatment - medicine #1
1 p.m. antibiotic #2
4 p.m. breathing treatment - medicine #1
7 p.m. antibiotic #1
8 p.m. breathing treatment - medicine #2
10 p.m. breathing treatment - medicine #1
I'm not sure if they know exactly what was wrong with her. The discharge papers had both the words pneumonia and asthma written on it. Hopefully, her chest congestion and cough will clear up after a few days. We go back to the doctor on Thursday to check out her breathing levels and probably do another chest x-ray. Her breathing levels were good when we were leaving the hospital today so she is definitely improving. Thanks for all of your prayers! I'll keep you posted.

OMG! We will certainly keep all of you in our prayers! It's never easy to watch your baby go through sickness or any type of distress...no matter what age your baby is! Ashley was in the hospital last week with a blood clot Monday thru Thursday. That was scary too! We will definitely be praying EXTRA for ALL our girls during this trying time!!
Love y'all!
Have not talked to you in ages. Do you have the same e-mail address?
Will pray for both girls and your and Mr.D's sanity. It always seems to pass onto the sibling. Breathing problems are horrible.
Miss you!
I know exactly how you feel! We are going through exactly the same thing with Brayden right now. He had a bacterial infection in his lungs which turned into pneumonia and he has also been diagnosed with asthma. Hang in there - the breathing treatments get better over time once they become accustomed to them. Barney has been our blessing - that's about the only thing that he'll sit still for so I watch a lot of that while giving his breathing treatments! Hopefully you'll find a good trick, too! If you have any questions, drop me a line!
