Poor Rachel!!!

It seems that Rachel can't get just a common cold/ virus. She has to be extreme. This morning we woke up and we did our usual routine. I was in the bathroom fixing my hair. She walked in and said she had to go pee pee so I put her on the potty. Next thing I know I hear this sound, it's coming from Rachel. I get closer and to my surprise she was wheezing and her breaths looked really deep like she was struggling. I think to myself, 'what has she been around that could cause her to breath like this?' then I thought, 'Is she having an asthma attack?' I called Michelle and she could hear her breathing over the phone. I called the Dr's office to get an appt/ advice. Next thing I know I have 3 kids in the car and we're heading to the Dr's.

Rachel has bronchitis and croup (the Dr heard this after the breathing treatment, she never coughed before that). It all come on in a matter of an hour or so. I dropped off the prescriptions and asked Eric to pick them up on the way home from work. She woke up from her nap early and sounded horrible! After Sophie left I got the girls ready and headed to Walgreens drive through. The Dr said it should be better by tomorrow. Let' s hope!!!

She's doing very well with her breathing treatments

Still smiling through it!
