Sick Little Girl!

Poor Maddie ended up in the hospital last week with RSV. She was having trouble breathing in the middle of the night (of course, it always has to happen at 3 a.m.!) on Thursday morning and I took her into the emergency room where they gave her two breathing treatments and sent us home. She still wasn't doing well when we went to a follow-up appointment with her Dr. a few hours later, and they said they'd need to admit her. They put her on oxygen, and gave her breathing treatments every 4 hours, and it helped a ton!

We spent the majority of the time trying to keep Maddie from going crazy. She was constantly asking to leave the room and saying "home, home". It was really tough trying to explain to a toddler that we were there for a while! Also, they wouldn't even let her leave the room and roam the hallways because she was considered contagious. My sister brought over a bunch of new toys and new movies to keep her occupied and she figured out that she could use the hospital crib as her own personal jungle gym! We were finally able to go home on Saturday afternoon and the first thing she wanted to do when she got home was take a bath, can you blame the kid? With all the lung problems that my mom has been having, we just figured that Maddie wanted to be just like her Grandma! I tried to get a picture of the two together, but my mom wouldn't allow it on the blog. Big Baby!
