My Poor Girl

Oh Heavens! It's been crazy at our house this last week. Last Monday morning, Lashae started to get all stuffy like she was getting a cold. Landon was just getting over one so I wasn't surprised. We tried to keep her and Landon away from sick kids to avoid this but as you all know, it's a lot easier said than done. Well as the day went on, she just keep getting worse and worse. We have a nebulizer for Landon's Reactive Airway so I gave her a breathing treatment. That helped............ a little. Late that night, she was still having a hard time breathing, and then she started chocking and turning purple! Scary! Stan gave her a blessing and she calmed right down then fell asleep, breathing better than she had all day. I told Stan I still wanted to take her into the Dr. I just knew it was more than a cold. Sure enough, She had RSV! The Dr. told us we caught it early and that doing the breathing treatment really helped (as did the blessing), she didn't need to be hospitalized but he needed to keep a close watch on her. I am Happy to report that after 5 Dr. visits, 3 shots and 3-4 breathing treatments a day for a week. That Lashae is doing Great! Her O2's and heart rate are back where they belong. She has her color back. She can breath just fine without chocking or turning purple. And! She is back to being my Happy Little Girl!!
I am so Thankful for Stan and the priesthood he holds. I know that giving her a blessing really helped her. And put me at peace. I don't know what we would do with out him!! Love You Stan!!

This is a picture of her while getting a treatment. She grabbed ahold of it for a little while and decided she needed to lick it a few times. She's a licker by the way, she still wont take a binky but as long as she can lick something, She's Just Fine :) Silly Girl
