Bronchiolitis NOT RSV

The worst things Emma had to deal with was the IV, drawing her blood, chest x-rays, urine samples through a catheter, and sucking the snot out of her nose and throat by sticking a tube down her nose and throat and suctioning it up. Poor baby! Oh yeah, and they checked her temperature every 4 hours rectally. And, she had to have a cannula in her nose to give her oxygen. Yeah, there were some traumatic times, but she was sweet whenever she wasn't being messed with! Oh, and by the way, they called her sickness Bronchiolitis (infection in her bronchiol tubes, not to be confused with bronchitis which attacks the bronchus--bigger tubes in your lungs).


I think her Daddy really missed her! This last picture is her last few minutes at the hospital today. She's such a sweetie!

By the way, the boys came to visit us Friday night and Gehrig was quite sick. They didn't get to see Emma, but I saw them for a few minutes and then sent Lou to the Urgent Care to check on Gehrig and an awful rash Damian had on his stomach. Turns out, Gehrig had strep-throat and Damian had a bad case of eczema. Yep, when it rains, it pours!! It's a bit scary being home, but we're glad to be here.
