• medical frustration

  I just spent the last 30 minutes rereading my blog trying to see a connect point with Rainee's sick episodes, and realized...I have stopped writing about sick, I only blog when I have something happy--with the exception of two recent whines.

  And as a result.  I have NO record of Rainee's many sick episodes.  Unfortunately for you that means you get to hear about them.  I need to start recording what I do and when so I can possibly find a pattern as to why, and when she gets so miserable.

  So today she was FINE all day.  No rescues until 45 minutes after bedtime.  She came out with asthma satting between 90-92.  I rescued her she perked back up, and went back to her room.

  About 35 minutes later Zeria came out to tell me she was crying.  I told her to bring her out.  Her sats were at 98.  But I could hear her wheezing.  She was already crying. 

  In the process of dealing with her already being miserable I discovered something naughty she did.  I didn't even scold her, but she started crying even worse.  And cried herself to sleep.

  She had hot dogs & ketchup for dinner along with at least one apple and one bananna.  She had chicken noodle soup & granola bar for a snack. 

  She was covered in red welts when she came out the second time--and warm.  Though I didn't take her temperature.

  I sat her in my arms gave her a second treatment, and kept the window open to help her get some fresh air.  She cried for about 30 minutes before falling asleep mid cry.
