They did a chest x-ray that showed no pneumonia, took some blood, checked her oxygen saturation, and decided she had croup. She was given a different breathing treatment and a steroid to help with the swelling in her throat and then observed for several hours. We were finally sent home with instructions to come back if her symptoms got worse.
She felt better last night and actually gave us a few smiles but woke up this morning feeling and sounding pretty bad again. She’s thrown-up twice today and keeps arching her back trying to breath. We’ll follow-up with the pediatrician tomorrow but there isn’t a treatment for croup so we just have to wait it out. Sometimes, if it’s not one thing, it’s 50.
Kaili was doing a great job taking care of her sick sister today. She wanted to hold her and give her toys to play with.

Oh, I'm so sorry. John is sick and miserable, too. Our poor little sick babies.
They sure are cute, though ☺
Kaili is a total sweetheart.
I love that, if its not one thing its 50. And Kaili is adorable and such a fantastic big sister.
What a great picture of your two adorable daughters! Kaili looks like a great big sister. Hope Averi is feeling better soon!
