.10.

Miss Eisley, you broke into the double digits of life with flare to say the least.  With older siblings, it's almost inevitable that you get all the germs they come in contact with.  Finn and Meg picked up a pretty wicked cold that led to lots of coughing.  I wasn't surprised, or even at all concerned when you picked it up as well.  About the fourth day of this cold you were still running a pretty high fever and coughing a lot so I made an appointment with the pediatrician Monday morning.  They put you on oxygen right away as your O2 levels were between 82/90 (anything below 90 gets you a trip to a hospital).  Once the dr. assessed you, it was decided that an ambulance ride up to Primary Children's hospital was what needed to happen because you were still too low without the oxygen on.  I felt terrible because I just had no idea how bad you were.  Sometimes being a quiet pleasant baby has its draw backs.

 A first for both of us...an ambulance ride up to Primary's.

Once we got to the hospital they deep suctioned you out and watched your vitals.  The respiratory therapist  seemed happy with how you were doing on the oxygen and so they put is in the observation unit to watch how you did for 6 hours.

finally catching a little bit of sleep in the ER waiting to be taken to the observation unit.

 After about 8 hours in the observation unit, the pediatrician felt confident in letting you go home with oxygen, so dad and I got the run down on how to work the tanks, and packed you up ready to go home.  Momma was so tired, but had to stay up waiting for the oxygen concentrator to show up around 12:30 in the morning.

 Momma got to spend a lot of one on one time with you the next day.  It was nice to give my undivided attention to just you.
At the follow up appointment the next day the dr. was still concerned with the crackle in your lungs, so he put you on an anti-biotic.  Within 2 days you were doing so much better and the dr. said it sounded like night and day since the last visit.  You were taken off the oxygen which made both of us very happy!

first night in a week that you slept without oxygen...beautiful!

 You have bounced back to your usual happy self, and have even started moving so much more.  And amidst all the craziness, you popped out your first tooth.  We are so happy to have you healthy and well again.  It's a scary thing to have sick babies.
 We love you little Eisley, happy 10 months baby girl!
