It has been a really, really long week.
We took the girls to a Michigan/Michigan State party on Saturday.
Sunday, they both woke up stuffy. Ruby was worse than Reyna.
Monday, Ruby threw up all day. It was awful. I had puke crusted on my clothes by the time Jade got home.
Tuesday morning around 4:30, Ruby woke up with a fever of 101.7 and a horrid cough with wheezing. I have never heard either one of the girls wheeze. Ever.
Luckily, we were able to get into the doctor right after Reyna went to school. They listened to her lungs and checked her pulse oxygen levels, which were dangerously low. Dr. Williams was thinking after a breathing treatment in office might raise her levels. No such luck.
I took Ruby to the hospital for Pneumonia around 10:30.
It is scary having babies sick enough to be admitted to the hospital.
Luckily, she only had to stay a night.
She is on breathing treatments every four hours and on a steroid for the next four days.
We have a follow up appointment with the doctor tomorrow. I am anxious to see how her lungs sound.
To be continued....
