nora and her colds

So, Nora came down with her first cold since spring. It had been about two weeks of a crazy runny nose and a slightly over-grouchy little girl. And it's probably my fault because I actually said a couple of times that Nora made it through her first cold that was just a cold, but yesterday she started wheezing. I put her to bed and hoped it wouldn't be worse when she woke up. We called the dr and they the lovely weekend clinic said they could see her today at 2. We dislike the dr that was on-call and she had gotten so much worse through the course of the day we decided to go to the emergency room.

We got there around 5:30, yes, all 4 of us...woops. We were called in about 5 mins before we gave-in for sleep. They gave her a nebulizer treatment while we were there, then a steroid and an antibiotic. We got home around 9:30. Bedtime is 7ish so they were crazy tired. Litterally actually, Nora couldn't stop talking even though we couldn't understand her half the time!

So we were at the emergency room but it wasn't really an emergency. We just didn't want it to get worse. She's better today, still a but wheezy and has a harsh cough, but...we've made it through another. They've diagnosed her with RSV which is common in babies born early. She may grow out of it but until then, we just need to try to catch it earlier, I think. I'm going to take her to see our dr this week and will hopefully have some kind of treatment to avoid this extreme next time.

But, she is good. She's still silly. She's still running, even though she's not supposed to. She's ok. Phew
