Bailey was almost 9 years old when she went to the ER for the first time. Unfortunately, Morgan didn't make it nearly that long. Yesterday afternoon, after a day of coughing & being very congested and running a slight temp, Morgan had to go to the ER. I had talked to the dr. office earlier in the day and had done everything they suggested - saline nose drops, suctioning her nose, running a cool mist humidifier, letting her sleep in a reclined position instead of flat on her back. But by 5 p.m., she hadn't gotten any better. So, after talking to the dr. answering service and a nurse at the hospital, I was instructed to bring her in to the ER. Thankfully, we were the only ones there and we didn't have to wait very long. The dr. said she has a little virus and to continue doing what we've been doing, keeping an eye on her temp. They "super suctioned" her, which she completely hated, but which made her sound so much better! She rested most of today, but has been eating well and has been happy & smiling, too. We'll be keeping her in more now as it starts to get colder and hope that she doesn't get sick again for a long time!!See you soon!!
