ER trip last night

Well, yesterday Caroline developed a fever and an even worse cough. Worse though was that she wasn't taking any solid food and had thrown up 3 of her bottles...So we called down to the Children's hospital and they wanted us to take her into the ER to the hospital here in town. Her oxygen levels were good. 98% and her fever had dropped down during the five hour ER visit. She wasn't dehydrated at all either. Found out she went from ear infection to double ear infection and bronchitis. Other than her crying(which is more like a whisper now than anything) they thought she was good enough to go home :)
We just have to watch her carefully and check in with her primary on Monday. It's so surprising how she can go from happy, active baby to super sleepy, sad baby. On a happier note I think she was flirting with the EMT. She kept smiling and hiding her face from him. Her cheeks even turned red! lol

What is Cystic Fibrosis?

Cystic fibrosis is an inherited chronic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system of about 30,000 children and adults in the United States (70,000 worldwide). A defective gene and its protein product cause the body to produce unusually thick, sticky mucus that clogs the lungs and leads to life-threatening lung infections; and obstructs the pancreas and stops natural enzymes from helping the body break down and absorb food. Information was taken from the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation's website. Learn more about CF and what you can do to help at www.cff.org
