I am a stay at home mom of a sweet little girl and her little baby brother! Madison was born in July 2004, and my life hasn't been the same ever since. I love staying home with her and Jonah and watching them change a little more with each day!

please pray for my girl!

Madison hasn't been feeling well for the last couple of days, and today just kept getting worse. She had a stuffy / runny nose, sneezing, coughing, fever, and wheezing. We gave her some cold medicine in the afternoon, but instead of getting better she just kept getting worse. So we took her to Prime Time this evening and they were quite worried about her breathing. They gave her a breathing treatment which made an instant difference. Based on that, the doc said that it was an asthmatic condition (though he didn't say asthma... hmmm) that was aggravated by a respiratory infection. Apparently an "asthmatic condition" doesn't go away and will continue to be aggravated whenever she gets colds and such. So we had to buy a nebulizer for her and until she is doing better, which will probably be days, she has to have these breathing treatments done every 4-6 hours. I even have to wake her up at night if she is wheezing in her sleep. On top of that she has to take oral prednisone and amoxicillin. What is kinda funny, though, is that she likes the nebulizer, but fought us so hard on the amoxicillin! How weird that she would actually like having a mask blowing steamy medicine into her mouth for 10 minutes. She says that she likes it because it makes her cough and helps her breathe. Obviously it is making a difference for her to acknowledge that. Anyway... I know she will get better, but it is miserable for all of us to go through her being so sick, so just keep her in your prayers!
