Sick Girl

Miss Lainey is sick, sick, sick. What I thought was allergies or a cold has turned into a full-blown viral infection called bronchiolitis. She developed a fever last night and after a very rough night of sleep, we took her to the doctor this morning where he prescribed some medicine (to reduce the swelling in her lungs, I think) and taught us how to give her breathing treatments at home. We are supposed to give her the breathing treatments every four to six hours, throughout the day and night. Thankfully we only have to give her the yucky-tasting medicine a total of three times. Poor kiddo. This is the absolute sickest we've ever seen her. She doesn't want to play or color or really do anything. Her breathing is rapid and she coughs constantly and her nose is runny. It's quite worrisome to us to see her so uncomfortable and miserable; we miss our active, playful child! We hope that she starts to feel better soon. After Lainey's tooth incident last week and her illness this week, I'm totally fine with this baby boy hanging out in my tummy for at least another week or so. He does seem quite comfortable there... :) I'd love for Lainey to be well before Walker makes his entrance into this world!
