>>ER VISIT

Yesterday we ended up taking Clover to the Emergency Room.  This was her 3rd trip to the ER since we brought her home from the NICU.  Poor little sweetie.  She has had a cold for a couple of days now and her congestion just got to be too bad.  I could tell she was struggling to breathe and she also had a lot of mucous/phlegm in her chest and throat that she kept choking on.  She just isn't quite strong enough to do a good cough to get it out....so to the ER we went.

They started breathing treatments on her right away, then proceeded with x-rays and blood work.  Getting blood is always a joke....it's complete torture for poor Clover and in the end, they are never able to get a vain and they end up poking her in the heal.  It just breaks my heart every time.

Everything came back looking okay, but they wanted to admit her for the night because she was requiring more oxygen than what she is usually on at night.

I stayed the night at the hospital with Clover while the boys (daddy and Henry) slept at home.  I think it was a loooong night for all of us. 

Clover was able to leave the next day after having a pretty decent night and getting her breathing under control.  Henry was SOOO happy to have his sister back.  I could tell he missed her and didn't like having her away.
