Sick,Sick and More Sick

Well, Halle has now officially had her first bout with bronchitis. She started with a fever last Friday afternoon. The daycare called me at work at 4pm and said she had a fever of over 100 degrees and we needed to pick her up. Well that was just the beginning of what I now know as a long weekend/week. She began with a cough and of course the good ole runny nose that lives at our house. So, Halle had a runny nose that we could not contain, fever of 100 to 102 with a cough that continued to get deeper and deeper into her chest. Anyway, by Sunday night we had already decided to take her to her pediatrician the next morning, but instead my wonderful sister, Nurse Dana, came over and listened to Halle's breathing. She thought that we should not wait until morning, but instead take her to the ER. We found out that there was two other kids in Halle's class that had pneumonia and we didn't want to take the chance of Halle getting it too. Anyway, so 3 hours, one shot, one prick to the heel, one prick to the finger and a CAT scan of the chest later we were home with a VERY sleepy baby. We then took her to her doctor Monday morning and for what I am not sure. Anyway, it is Thursday morning and she still has not been back to daycare. Darrin and I have been rotating days off from work. She is to have a check-up Monday morning and hopeful back to daycare she will go. So, that is my story for the week.
