Here are some pictures I took of the girls yesterday, when things were looking good. They look healthy and happy. Sophie had been home for 24 hours and was doing well. Then this morning she coughed for about 90 minutes and seemed to be having a difficult time breathing. I took her back to her doctor this morning, the 5th time in two weeks. She prescribed more steroids and arranged for us to get a machine so we can give Sophie breathing treatments at home. I have to take her back tomorrow morning for yet another visit. So far, she has been to urgent care 2 times, the ER 2 times, her doctor's office 6 times (tomorrow), and in the hospital for 6 days all in the last two weeks. I am a bit stressed and so tired of doctors and worries!
What a trooper Maddie has been. Since we pulled her out of preschool (the germ factory) in an attempt to keep her and Sophie healthy, she had accompanied us on most of these doctors trips, not to mention trips to the pharmacy. She has been awesome despite being put second so many times while being sick herself. Since I stayed with Sophie in the hospital, I really haven't even seen much of her. It's unbelievable that she doesn't resent Sophie or me. She hasn't shown any signs of jealousy and tells us how much she loves us all the time. I have such great kids. I can't wait until they are healthy, and we can spend some time doing things that are a bit more fun. Although it is hard to imagine such a day will ever be here!
