First Emergency Room Visit

On Thursday we took Claire to the doctor because she had a horrible cough. Dr. Dick tested her for step and sure enough, it came back positive. We started on antibiotic, and Claire was back to her normal self. On Sunday we had friends over to celebrate the Super Bowl. Claire let me lay her down around 8:30. She woke up at 10:15 and was acting different. She refused to nurse and started coughing. She could not stop. I have never been so scared. We called the after hours nurse at the pediatrician. She told us to take Claire straight to Le Bonheur. Luckily, Amanda was able to drive us. (Harry and I were shaking so bad) When we made it to the hospital, Claire had calmed down. The ER doctor decided to take an x-ray to make sure she hadn't swallowed anything. The crazy x-ray contraption really freaked Claire out. We were sent home from the ER feeling like over protective parents and both knowing that something was not right. Claire's physician called us the next day to say she had pneumonia. We started on a new antibiotic. We had a few more coughing scares, but luckily learned that standing in the bathroom while hot water was running helped.
Once Claire finished her antibiotic, she came down with double ear infections. She was a real trooper during her sickness. We are so thankful that our little one is back to her normal spunky self.
