You can't imagine how much love you have until you have a baby

The last couple of days in my life have been scary and releaving all in one. Wednesday Mackynzie woke up coughing and congested, I thought great Kynzie's got another cold. We got up and went on about our business. Through out the day Kynzie was having a harder time breathing, I gave her some Tylenol Cold, thinking it was just a cold, when that didn't work I gave her some Albuterol, that didn't work, I got her calmed down and she went to sleep. I of course knew I wasn't going to get much sleep cause Mackynzie wasn't sleeping well, she was haveing a hard time breathing, as most do when they are congested. When we woke up the next morning I called her Dr. and told them what was going on and that I need to come in and have her checked out. SO I went into the Dr's office. yeah...... We ended up having to do a breathing treatment on her and then she was sent to have 2 chest x-rays. As I'm sure you can imagine, it isn't much fun having to do eather to a one year old. Finally the Doctor told me that she has Asthma, and she was having a saver asthma attack. Doctor Bhatia said that she would send her home as long as I was sure to give her breathing treatments every four hours, and two other meds twice a day. Also I had to bring Mackynzie in today (the next day) again, for her to be checked again. Otherwise she was going to put Mackynzie in the hospital, and if she doesn't like her progress today then she is going into the hospital. Luckly I have giving breathing treatments before and administered meds to her many times before. so every four hours we sit down and Mackynzie gets a breathing treatment, by this point she is more used to it, and behaves better usually we have to distract her by singing or playing peek a boo or something like that. However the machine that does the treatments, the Nebulizer is in the shape of a panda bear. Which is cute and it isn't so scarry for the little ones. Anyway, it's just been a crazy few days.

Later all.
