She has had a cold off and on for a couple of weeks which had progressively gotten worse. She developed a nasty cough and started tugging at her ears. She has a rash on her face and has had diarrhea for the past few days. Thus, church was replaced with an ER visit. They examined her and ordered an xray, respiratory treatment, and RSV nasal swab (Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a major cause of respiratory illness in young children. RSV causes infection of the lungs and breathing passages).
She absolutely hated the breathing treatment and wasn't too happy about a 6 inch q-tip being stuck in her nose. After the xray the doctor informed us that she has pneumonia and, on inspection, an ear infection. Lovely. She was pretty miserable through the entire ER visit. She did cheer up when I gave her my purse to play with....I guess she likes Coach too :) We got a prescription for Zithromax which should clear up her ailments. We ill know the results of the nasal swab tomorrow.
After we left the ER we took her to Target to get the script filled. She was in a great mood. She got a new Dora movie and some sugar free popsicles to help keep fluids in her. She hasn't really eaten much today but did manage to drink a couple cups of milk and had 2 popsicles. I think the cold felt really good on her throat.
As I type I am listening to her cough in her sleep. I wish I could take all the bugs out of her and put them in me instead. Well, hopefully the antibiotics do their job and she heals quickly. I will update tomorrow with anything new. Any prayers would be appreciated.

Let's hope she doesn't keep such expensive taste!
