Emergency Room Visit

We had a late night in the ER last night. Before Willie and I went to bed, we heard Madison making groaning noises in her sleep. She was breathing very rapidly and had a 103.9 fever. We tried a breathing treatment & Tylenol, but the breathing was still very rapid...so we took her to the hospital. Chest x-rays determined she has a small patch of pneumonia in the same place as earlier in March. I think we caught it early and hopefully the antibiotic will start working immediately. We have a follow up appointment with her pediatrician tomorrow afternoon.

She was typical Madison in the ER last night - smiling & talking to the nurses & Dr's who gave her stickers & balloons. You would never have known she was sick!
