Long, Tiring Week

We have had quite the interesting week. We spent last week visiting my parents. Madison started teething while we were there too. 


Madison's wonderful teething morphed into sickness. It got bad enough that the kid stopped eating & drinking. She was coughing so hard too! It landed us in the ER to get her checked out on Friday. They did a chest x-ray because my Grandpa had pneumonia & they wanted to rule it out. They gave her a breathing treatment & she napped while we were there. She was diagnosed with Bronchiolitis. We were sent home with a prescription for a inhaler & spacer for her & a nose spray. We had to use the nose spray for 3 days. We have to use the inhaler every 4 hours for a week. It was so hard for all of us to give her the nose spray. The inhaler was a fight until Saturday night, then all of a sudden she started taking it like a champ. She wants to hold it & spray it. She even laughed through it last night. I've caught this little sickness too. Mine is no where near as bad as her's has been. 


Its been so beautiful outside. The weather has been great! I haven't been keeping Madison inside because she is sick, but I have been trying to keep her out of public places. We took her to a field Sunday and flew a kite, then we went to an empty park. Of course we weren't there long before a family showed up with a little guy that was slightly younger than Madison. We left a little while later because I didn't want her getting close to him and getting him sick. Other than that we've taken a few walks & played in the back yard.
