Sick Little Girl

Kenna has finally succumbed to the cold and flu season. We have been very blessed to have an overall healthy little girl and Kenna has not had to take any antibiotics or anything other than a little Tylenol/Motrin in her 21 (almost 22) months of life.

Well about a week ago she started with a runny nose and a little cough. By Saturday evening, she also had some goopy eyes to go along with it, but she acted like she wasn't too bothered at all by her cold symptoms. Sunday evening she started running a low grade temp that just got higher on Monday. No one really slept in our house last night and we decided it was time to make a visit to the pediatrician....

He said that Kenna has bronchiolitis (most likely caused by RSV) and two ear infections. Poor baby!! They did a breathing treatment in the office, which she HATED, and then sent us home with a neb machine of our own to continue doing nebs at home. (I know that there are lots of kids who have to do nebs regularly). She actually did really well with it when we got home and she got to watch The Wiggles and Backyardigans while she was doing her neb.

So we have her medicine all lined up and ready to go and know that she will be on the mend really soon! Sick kiddos are really sad looking. Thank goodness that we don't have to do this very often!

I am so sorry Kenna is so sick! I just read the whole story. I thought she just had a cold! I know how scary it is when our kids get sick, but it sounds like she is getting better. Give her a hug from Izzy!
