Sick

On Christmas Eve Paisley had a little bit of a cough. It was worse on Christmas Day and she had a runny nose but acted like she felt fine. We were going to go to the farm that Monday but decided to stay home a few more days to make sure she was 100% well. On Wednesday we headed north. P took a short nap in the truck and we had a great afternoon playing on our swingset and just having fun. All of the sudden around 3:30 she just started hysterically crying. We couldnt figure it out! I finally got her to fall asleep in my arms and take a second nap-and both of those things are not normal for her to do. She woke up about an hour later and started crying really bad again. Nothing we did would make her stop crying. Thankfully my Dad and brother were up at the farm too and they helped Troy and I figure out what to do. I ended up calling Urgent Care and talking to a nurse and we ended up heading that way.

Paisley continued to scream like she was in pain...the worst crying I have ever heard. I thought (and was hoping) it was just an ear infection but I just didnt know what to think....she had never acted like that and I was so worried.

We arrived at Urgent Care around 6:30 and they treated us like gold. They were SO sweet to Paisley, got us right in. After a quick exam, the Dr. said it wasn't an ear infection and ordered a chest x-ray and blood work. I was so scared! Thankfully all we had to do was walk across the hall and have our x ray and lab work done and we had no wait!

We quickly got the results back and bless her heart, she had pneumonia! Poor little monkey. A nurse gave her some motrin and a shot of rocephin and sent us back out in the waiting room to wait and be sure she didnt have a reaction to the antibiotic.

By the time the nurse came to give us our papers to leave, Paisley was running all over the waiting room! I didnt care, I was just so glad she was feeling better! What a scare!

Here is Paisley during her second nap...she looks pitiful :(


Starting to feel a little better...


And now she was really feeling better! We left the farm in such a hurry that we forgot her shoes!
