A Bad Night.....

[DianaB]

Little Karlie has problems with asthma and the last couple of days she's been coughing. Dae Lynn brought her out yesterday with her inhaler and explained how to use it. (My children never had problems like this.) She coughed so much and had a fever. I gave her a treatment and it seemed like it didn't help. She took a nap but was coughing the whole time she was sleeping. I was really concerned. I gave her another treatment before it was time to. Glen ran her home since he needed to go to town anyway and Dae Lynn gave her a treatment with a nebulizer but still there didn't seem to be any relief from the coughing. She called me at 10:45 wondering what to do and I had no answers except to call the hospital and see if they had any suggestions or whether she needed to be brought in but they had no suggestions or help. Dae Lynn was up with Karlie all night with just a little bit of sleep. This morning first thing she took her to the doctor and he said that it was a good thing that she had given her treatments through the night or she would have been in really bad shape this morning. He gave her a shot of antibiotics for an ear infection and oral antibiotics, and cough syrup. Please say a prayer for her. It was a really scary episode for Dae Lynn and very worrisome for Glen and I.
