Helpless

Felt completely helpless today. Greta was definitely under the weather. After having diarehea all week, last night she threw up and A LOT! Freaked me right out. A long night the followed. She wanted to be cuddled and loved, which I was happy to give and milk every couple hours to keep her hydrated. Then this morning she just seemed off. Up 4:30. Aye and then slept. So I started working (from home) at 5:30. Fed her again at like 7:30 and that us pretty much how our day went. I took a half day to cuddle her and that's all she did... All day.

Doctors appointment at 4:30 and after a couple tests to the ER we went. Her white blood cell count was 25,000 and normal is like 10,000. A chest x-ray taken and several attempts to get bold drawn and an IV started.  All of which failed. Greta is one tough cookie and but it was so hard to stand by and watch her get poked and prodded. I don't know how parents of kids which more serious illnesses do it. Turns out she has pneumonia. Probably a result of having croupe when we were in Europe and it never healing. There's still a chance for her to have a urinary track infection but we won't know that for 24 hours. 

So two antibiotic shots and a prescription and home we went. 

I pray we don't have to do that again for a long time!  Thanking God it wasn't anything worse.
