Hanging out, hospital style

Kamdyn has been fighting some sickness. She's had a cough for a couple of weeks. We've been doing the nebulizer, and the cough went back and forth between croup city and phlegmy farm. We had quite a production last night.

I'll set the scene for you.

 8:30 pm The doctor diagnoses the little miss with a sinus infection. Antibiotics prescribed. Temperature is normal at 8:30 after a dose of Motrin and Tylenol given at home earlier that day.

 9:00 The WalMart pharmacy is closed, but the hospital apothecary stays open until 11:00 pm. Kamdyn finishes the lollipop she got from the doctor. Mommy is in the front seat reading some paper work.

 Enter weird breathing.

 Enter slightly panicked Mommy but thinking I'm probably over reacting.

 Enter white face and shaking. More freaking out.

 Mommy and Kamdyn exit the car to stand under the street lamp for better light.

 Enter purple feet and hands and more shaking.

 Exit hospital right.

 And here we are. It appears that Kamdyn had another instance of a perfect storm of sickness. She had this once before while we were on vacation with very similar results. Lucky girl, right? She's been sick, coughing, congestion, sinus infection, and the cherry on top: teeth coming in. We're waiting to see the doctor now. I'm totally ok with going home. We just need to stay on top of the fever. Her CBC came back normal, and we're waiting to hear about the X-ray, but I'm sure it's fine. 


Last night, after we got the fever under control and gave up trying to get an IV in.
