Our Lil' Lovebug: So here is the story....

So here is the story...on Monday we took Gracie to the doctor and found out that she had an ear infection. She of course had congestion but the doctor didn't seem to concerned about it. So we kept her home on Tuesday. We tried to take her to the daycare on Wednesday but Matt had to go get her. Then when I got home I just didn't like the way she was sounding. She sounded raspy and her cough sounded so so much worse. So I called the tele-nurse (a lovely thing we have through the army hospital) because I was worried about taking her in for nothing. She told me that mothers intuition usually means something. So I decided to take her in. Since Matt had stayed home with her during the day and had to go to work the next day, I told him to stay home and I would take her. So we arrived at the hospital around 9:30 and was triaged shortly there after. Gracie was not running a fever, her temp was 98.9 and her oxygen stats was at 93%. Either way, they knew the doctor was going to want to see her lungs in an xray so we took ourselves down to Radiology. After her xray we went back to the waiting room. They called us back at 2:30 am to the exam room and we didn't see the doctor until 5 am. As time went by Gracie started running a fever. By the time they took her temperature she was up to 101.6 and her oxygen level was at 74%. They gave her about 3 breathing treatments which helped but not enough. They diagnosed her with acute pneumonia and decided to take us over to the local civilian hospital since they didn't have the staff at the army hospital. So we spent 2 days there. Gracie was only on oxygen for about 24 hours and then took her off of it and wanted to monitor her for another 24 hours. By the time last night came around we were all being claustrophobic. Gracie kept trying to jump around her crib and play. She is so funny. I am putting a video of her playing in her crib before she FINALLY fell asleep at 10 pm. Gracie actually did very well. She was cooperative most of the time and was a very happy baby for everyone! Either way we are home with instructions to give her breathing treatments every 6 hours for about a week. I want to thank all of you for all the thoughts and prayers. I can tell you that she was being prayed for and thought of from coast to coast. It really means a lot to Matt and I that you all took that time out of your day to pray for our little girl. We are so thankful she is feeling better. We are going to spend the weekend in and re-cooperating so you know I will be taking a lot of pictures! Well, it is so late and I need to get some sleep! Thanks again for the love...it meant a lot.

Looking serious after a breathing treatment
