2 Sick Weeks

It all started at 2Am on Monday, February 9th.  Kenzi had crawled in bed with me when I heard the sound that every mother dreads, especially in the middle of the night.  You all know the sound I am talking about; the one that starts with a cough, cough, cough and then . . . well, let's just say you are just thankful they missed your head.

Her teacher had told me that all the kids in her class had been coughing and sick so I just figured she had caught a bug, and put her on some Tylenol flu medicine.  By Friday when she wasn't getting any better, John took her to the doctor and we found out she had Pneumonia!

The oxygen machine was delivered, and we have been to the doctor everyday since!  Since our doctor wasn't working on Sunday we had to take her to the doctor that was working that day. He had us take her off the oxygen only to find out on Monday from our doctor that she should never have been taken off the oxygen (I love doctors) so we got to take home another fun machine; a nebulizer.   

3 shots later, one oxygen machine, an oral prescription, and a nebulizer; Kenzi has had it with everything she is going through!  

I told her she could play with the photobooth on my computer as she did her breathing treatments with the nebulizer; this has seemed to help her complain a little less about having to breath in some nasty tasting air.  As you can see she took some interesting pictures of herself.

I have bribed her with a shopping day if she will take her medicine, wear her oxygen mask at night, and do her breathing treatments 4 times a day.  I think once this illness is over it will only set us back a few $100, donations can be made to . . . .
