Adventures in the ER!

So yesterday I wasn't feeling all that hot, but took some tylenol and evenutally my headache went away. Well while I was trying to lay down, Abbey kept laying with me, it was nice to just lay and snuggle with her. But when I got up and got her lunch and after lunch she climbed in my arms and just layed there. She was so warm, Every part of her body was hot. She sat there and was crying to me and so I knew something was up, so I tried to call Mike but he was still at him meeting that was during his lunch. So about 12:30 I finally got ahold of him and said I wanted to take her to the ER, well by the time he got her she had fallen asleep in my arms, which she hasn't done since she was a baby. So I layed her down, Mike was home a little after 1. Took her to the ER, when they took her temp it was 102.7. Then I had to wait, and wait, and wait. After an hour and a half wait to see the doc, he told us we needed to get her Chest -X Rays. So they had to do that twice cause she was squirmy with the first one. I stayed in the waiting room and heard her crying!! My poor Abbey. We took her back to the doc and he said it looks like she has the start of pneumonia. Thank god we caught it so early! We got her meds and got her home and now today she is feeling so much better.


While we were there, there was another lady and her mom waiting, well when we went to go and get Abbey's meds she was telling her daughter that a lady took off in her car while holding her child. So my plea, no matter how sick you or your child is, put them in their carseat, in the back seat. Please don't ever drive while holding your child. The sp's were called and I am hoping they got to that lady! I can''t believe a mom would endanger their child that way!

I am off of my soapbox now. Can't wait for tonight going out to dinner with some friends!!
