Baby girl's trip to the hospital...

Although not a happy occasion to post about, I'm doing so for documentation purposes since I seem to be so forgettful since entering motherhood! Anyhow, we had to take Maddie to the emergency room one night this month. She started wheezing really bad at Connor's baseball game (it was an especially windy night and the allergies seemed worse). The wheezing didn't stop and we called the advice nurse around 9pm, and of course, they sent us to the ER. Luckily- it was a night that Mal was home from work, so she stayed with Connor while Michael and I took her in. She was fine, but needed a couple breathing treatments. She was such a trooper that night- falling asleep during the breathing treatments and just allowing the doctor and nurses to check her out without much fuss at all. Since then, she's had a couple wheezing incidents so we're carrying her inhaler with us everywhere. She's pretty good about taking it and it helps tremendously. Poor Madeline, we passed on our allergies and asthma to her. It's a terrible feeling to have your child sick... but this experience made me so thankful for our healthy children.
