An ER visit

Dave had to take Grace the ER Monday night. She's been fighting a cold for weeks but it really has been manageable. Until Monday...

Grace starting coughing and coughing. We did our usual routine of breathing treatments with absolutely NO LUCK! The coughing then turned into choking and Grace became combative. We knew it was time to get her to the ER. Grace would have none of it and started to fight us when we attempted to put her clothes on.

It was hard but I calmed her down enough for her to understand how critical it was to get her to a doctor. Grace went willingly with Dave.

Once at the ER Grace was triaged to the front of the line (thank goodness!). She was given a steriod and then also diagnosed with an ear infection which contributed to her asthma attack.

Grace is on the road to recovery but who knows when another attack will rear it's ugly head!? I keep praying that Grace will grow out of the asthma as some kids do. For now we will stay ever vigilant.
