Albuterol = psycho

So Tyler and my biggest fear came true the other day. . . Mckaley has asthma :( We both have asthma so we pretty much figured that our kids would have it, but we were still praying that they wouldn't. Gasping for a breath of air is not something you ever want your kids to have to go through.

Well, during our flight to Ca the plane circulation (and all the germs that go along with it) did a number on Mckaley this week. She has bronchitis, an ear infection, and a sinus infection. My poor little girl is a mess. We are staying at my brothers apt and luckily my mom was there to notice that she was breathing really rapid and really shallow. When my mom and I timed her breaths she told me to call the doctor. Good thing I did because they rushed us in to see them, diagnosed her with asthma, and told me to give her albuterol right away. Her oxygen saturation level was not even close to what it should have been. Plus, if it didn't get any better I was going to have to take her to the ER. Luckily the albuterol worked, but let me tell you it is like a shot of adrenaline. Mckaley was literally bouncing off the walls at Keegan's place. I'm not exaggerating here-she was bouncing. Like full blown Tigger style. Anyhow, I probably shouldn't post this picture, but I couldn't resist. Here is my sick kid, wearing Keegans flip flops going psycho off her albuterol rush. . .
