Pathetic little baby girl!

Miss Jordyn is sick and it came on awful fast! She was barely coughing one day and by that night she was rattling and breathing hard. I decided to just call in to work and take my little one to the doctor the very next day. I'm so glad I did. The doctor said she has bronchitis that is on the verge of pneumonia!! Um....what?? She just barely started showing signs of being sick at all. Crazy! So they gave her a breathing treatment right there because she wasn't moving air very well. We've never done that before but it helped a lot so she sent us home with one of the machines and prescriptions for that and a couple more medicines. I also have to take her back two days later. Even the front desk was like, huh? Two weeks? No, two days! That is scary!
Here is the counter full of medicines that Jordyn doesn't really like taking either.

Big sister wanting to help.

Do I really have to do this???


We have to make sure we have something on tv for her. Even with her shows, she tries to escape from me but she's getting better with it today because she knows she just has to do it. And yes, those are her Santa jammies. She demanded her Santa jammies.

She even wanted to hold it on her own after awhile! :)

She hasn't been napping well because her hacking will wake her up so I thought she would go down well last night after her treatment. Wrong!! Well, she did good for like an hour but then she just wanted me to hold her. Even though she falls asleep within a minute of me holding her, she still won't let me put her down. I tried laying on the recliner with her but she kept rolling back and forth over my big belly and it hurt so bad. I also kept worrying that she would fall off if I fell asleep and didn't catch her. So, bad mommy that I am, I finally put her back in her crib. I had to or I wouldn't have gotten a wink of sleep and then wouldn't have been able to take care of her today. I felt so horrible as she cried and then hacked and then cried and hacked but it didn't take her long before she fell asleep. I was so relieved.
Unfortunately she woke up at 6:30 so we started out very early. Her big sis ended up getting her some cereal since mommy fell back to sleep:) Makenna is such a good second mommy. She just kept saying that she hates these sickies. I do too!! Jordyn feels better during the day. This is her watching Enchanted:) She also played with her big sis this morning. I'm just worried about the evening!

Aww! poor baby! Pneumonia can come on pretty fast, it doesnt take much in those little lungs! I hope it passes fast and she feels better soon!

My visiting teachers both said that thier Grandkids had the same thing. It came on fast and started in their chests. Scary. I am thankful that you took her in right away.
