Brooklyn's first sickness

So Brooklyn has officially been sick. Poor little thing. She was battling a cold a few weeks back and then she seemed to rebound and get better. In the mean time passing it on to both her parents. However, we were all just starting to get better when Brooklyn woke up on a Saturday morning and had her cough and cold back.

She seemed to be doing well, but then Saturday afternoon she seemed out of sorts and when she woke up from her nap she had a fever. Her first "official" fever. I just felt so helpless. She really would not eat or drink much. We were super worried about dehydration and keeping her fever down and her comfortable. Bryan took her to the Dr on Tuesday and said that she had developed fluid in her lungs. Thankfully after a breathing treatment it sounded better, so they didn't need to do an x-ray. But, the Dr did want her back bc they were still watching for pneumonia.

Also, because of her nose being so stuffed up the mucus and gunk that backs up and was coming out her eyes. The Dr said this is normal, but still it was disturbing and we had to keep cleaning her eyes all day and night long. Bottom line the dr said it was viral and to continue breathing treatments at home.

poor little eye-looks like she got punched

I was able to take Brooke back to the dr on Friday. Dr Lacy said she was looking better, but to keep an eye on her and that she was super contagious. I think it took to about Tuesday until she started to seem like our playful silly girl. She is also starting to eat better again :) So all in all we all survived her first illness. Now for mom and dad to get better again-she passed it back to us again, lol.
