And, a trip to the ‘fancy doctor’

Miss H was really tired after her holiday party and we were just chalking it up to excitement and too much sugar but then the coughing started.

It really started full-force around 2am. After several hours of coughing, the wheezing began so then it was time for the trip to the ER. Miss H was a little dismayed that we were not going to the doctor’s office but when we pulled up to the hospital, we got to see the helicopter take off and she decided this place was worth checking out.

We got ushered back pretty quickly and Miss H got more excited. There were stars on the floors, lots of TV and she got crayons, paper, a bag filled with play dough and the fun accessories. This officially became the ‘fancy doctor.’

Usually I am not that enthralled with the hospital but she was thrilled to be there. There was coughing all around us and the ER was filling up quickly with more kids. Luckily, we were not on a bed in the hallway.

After a few hours, a new nebulizer and some medicine- her breathing was better so they sent us home. She is on the mend now but the two of us are not feeling the effects of lack of sleep and being coughed on :-\
