Anne Osborne : Cold & Snow go away!

We have had a rough go around our house lately! Everyone has been sick with coughs, colds and the pukes. Gracee and Gage have had a terrible cough. They checked Gracee for the whooping cough a couple weeks ago but luckily it came back negative. She just has bad asthma and it is finally clearing up. Gage still has a little cough. He is such a trooper and hardly ever gets sick. Hadlee and Mylee have had a cough for quite awhile. I took them to their pediatrician two weeks ago and he said they both have asthma. AHHH! two with asthma this is going to be quite interesting. Gracee has had terrible asthma ever since she was there age and man has it been rough. I hope and pray that they will not have it as bad as she does. It is so miserable for them, and I feel so bad.
On Thurs, March 2 I decided that I would call the clinic and see if they could check the twins ears and o2 levels. They were able to get them in on friday. The Dr said that Mylee was wheezing really bad and Hadlee was a little. She said she thought they had RSV and wanted me to take them to the hospital for testing. Tj and I took them over to the hospital and they had to deep suction them to get the test. It was so sad holding them down. Mylee's came back positive right away and Hadlee's we weren't sure about until 24 hrs. (It ended up being negative) We got a suction machine to take home and the Dr said I should suction them as often as they needed it and do there nebulizer treatments. Since their 02 levels were ok we could go home and come back for a deep suction if needed.
Saturday they seemed ok but Mylee sounded yucky. Hadlee not as bad but she had a yucky nose.
Sunday when I got them up Mylee just wasn't acting herself. She was lethargic and wheezing and retracting really bad. I called my mom and she thought we should take her in to the ER and at least get there o2 levels checked. Well we got their and her 02 level was about 84 and she was wheezing and retracting so bad. They gave her some 02 and suctioned her out. She hated the 02 around her face at first but finally got use to it. They wanted to admit her so I had them call her pediatrician and he agreed. After we got settled in my mom went home and watched the 3 others so Tj could come and visit for awhile. He left around 6:30pm. My poor little Mylee had the hardest time. They had to keep suctioning her and giving her treatments and she was so exhausted and worn out. It was so weird to have just Mylee and no Hadlee. This was the first time they were actually apart from each other. Mylee didn't sleep very well and had a rough night. She started to perk up this morning and the Dr came in and said she would stay another night. They kinda forgot about her I think! I would have to ask them to come in and suction her and do her treatments. That's when I decided that I could do this at home. I told the nurse that I really wanted to go home and that I had a suction machine, oxygen, and her nebulizer at home. She said she would run it by the Dr. He came in about 1:30p and said as long as I felt comfortable with it he was fine. I said heck yes discharge us now! LOL....Tj and Hadlee came and got us and we are so glad to be home. It was so good to see Hadlee and Gracee and Gage. It felt like forever and it was only 24 hours. Hadlee and Mylee were so cute with each other. I know they were glad to see each other.
They both got a beautiful blessing tonight from Tj with the help of our friend Tyler. I hope Mylee can get better fast and Hadlee will stay clear of RSV!
We just need the cold and snow to stay away and the warm weather fast!
