I hate it when my baby is sick!!

Katy started off with a cough on Thursday an by Friday it was the full force flu. The doctor diagnosed her with H1N1 and sent us home with a scrip of Tamiflu. By Friday night she was having a hard time breathing. We took her to bed with us and we are SO GLAD we did, because she coughed during her sleep which lead to choking which lead to her not being able to breath. Todd picked her up and somehow got her breathing and then she violently threw up. That was enough for Todd to declare we were going to the hospital! So at 10:30 PM we were on our way to Children's Hospital.

Wow - let me tell you that is an interesting and depressing place to be in the middle of the night. Katy was exhausted, but didn't dare to close her eyes afraid she was gong to miss something. Some of it I'd rather she wouldn't have seen!

Anyway - the nurses and doctors were awesome and did a chest x-ray on her to rule out pnuemonia and checked her from head to toe. The agreed it was a bad case of the flu and that we could take her home, but gave us a beathing treatment to help open her airways and help out her cough. So by 3 AM we were all back at home and finally in bed!

Luckily she has gotten better a little every day, but I've never seen her this sick!! It really breaks my heart to see her so pitiful and in such pain to talk, cough or even move!

This is when we were waiting for her chest x-ray and she and another little girl were fascinated with Sponge Bob. So as usual even if its 2 AM and were in a hospital I had to pull out the camera.


The day after the hospital and she wouldn't leave either of our sides, so she took a nap with Daddy and I was just so glad that she was getting some rest.
