sick baby

Ellen is sick. It started on Friday with a cough and congestion. Went in to the dr on Sat and was told to keep a strict eye on it. Didn't go to church on Sunday. Sunday night was very bad, she was coughing and congested and appeared to be breathing so fast. Monday went to the ENT for another issue - she failed the hearing test at the hospital. While there, I told the ENT about what has been going on and she told me I need to call my pediatrician back for a follow up. So back to the pediatrician on Monday afternoon and little Elle got a nebulizer treatment to help her lungs relax. The ped was concerned about her oxygen levels (she is still so young 5 weeks and in the "danger" zone.) Ped told me to call whatsoever if I was scared or saw her struggling or she won't eat. Sent me home with nebulizer. Had neighbor RN come over at 8 PM to help me figure things out. Went to bed. Did 2 treatments during the night.

HORRIBLE NIGHT

She would start to cough and then get into a trance and just keep coughing while being so limp. Called the dr at 2 AM - concerned about her fast breathing. Dr said to come in first thing in the morning and probably RSV. So poor Elle is sitting on my bed right now coughing - sounds soo bad. This is a not-fun post I know but wanted my family to know what is going on!
