Yesterday afternoon we had to take Ryleigh to the doctor for an "emergency visit". Yesterday morning I noticed that she was wheezing just a little bit when she breathed. Then as the day went on, she was wheezing more and also sounded very raspy when she would cry. It almost sounded like she was losing her voice. So I called the nurse and after a very looooong phone conversation we also found out that Ryleigh was breathing ALOT faster than she should be. I had also mentioned to the nurse that she had a fever Tuesday night too. The nurse said that we needed to get to the office as quickly as possible and that if she started to change color or breathe faster, we needed to stop and call 911. Talk about scaring the crap out of someone!! The doctor said that she didn't really think she was breathing fast. She wanted to do a white blood cell count and they also did an in and out cath. It hated seeing her get her little finger pricked and I know that catheter had to hurt but she did GREAT! She cried for about 20 seconds each time and then she was ok. Everything came back normal but they were still going to send the urine off to get cultured to make sure there wasn't an underlying infection. The doctor said she probably sounds like that because there is some drainage going into her throat or it may be caused by just crying. So we were sent home to keep an eye on her. She still sounds the same today but not wheezing as much. I've been keeping a VERY close eye on her though. I'm just glad she is ok.
Emma fell today while trying to climb on the couch and got this huge bump on her noggin'. It immediately turned blue and raised up. Poor baby!
One day she'll learn that she's not a monkey!
One day she'll learn that she's not a monkey!Emma has started to really pay a lot of attention to Miss Ryleigh. When I'm feeding her, she likes to hold her toes or rub her belly. This is probably one of my favorite pictures. Emma bent down to hold her little sisters hand. Too cute!
