The Gibbs Family: IT WAS A QUITE WEDNESDAY MORNING.....

It was Wednesday morning and the phone rings at 8:00am, it was Rachelle. Normally on Wednesday I don't hear from her until either she is driving to work or after she is finished with her day and she is driving home. So to see her name come up on the caller ID concerned me a little and especially that early in the morning..... When I picked up the phone she asked if I could come sit with Landon while she took Telsea to see the Pediatrician. Telsea had woke up around 7:00am that morning crying saying she couldn't breath and was whizzing....... From that moment on it was a blur. Rachelle came home with her around 10:00 with all kinds of meds. The office had given Telsea a breathing treatment there and told Rachelle in 4 hours to give her the inhaler and so forth. By the time 10:15 rolled around Telsea was having difficulty breathing again, so she called the doctors office they said it was okay to give her the inhaler BUT if she would need it again within the next hour se needed to take her to the hospital. Within about 40 minutes it started up again, this time seemed to be worse, her heart was beating out of her chest, she was looking pasty, all she wanted to do is sleep. Her chest and stomach was working so hard to breath, Rachelle put her in the car and took her up the street to the Urgent Care. When she got there they put her on oxygen immediately because her levels were so low and gave her two breathing treatment to get her stable enough for Rachelle to be able to take her onto the hospital. The called ahead to Mendy's ER for Pediatrics...this place was AMAZING. They took such great care of our little baby girl and never left her side until she was out of danger!!!!!

Arriving to Mendy's ER.....

Her first IV...they only poked her once, got all the vials of blood that was needed, but it wouldn't flush....so out it came and they had to poke her again....

This time they had to poke her on top of her hand....

poor baby it hurt so bad, BUT she did so well!!!

First of many breathing treatments.....
Johnny O was her Respiratory Specialist, he was GREAT!!!

Off to take an xray to see what was going on......

Finally daddy got there.... look at her smile!!!
The doctor came in and gave us the results....it was pneumonia. So she would have to stay over night for sure and see how it goes from there.

It was about 6:00pm....after several breathing treatments they gave her magnesium to help open her up. Hoping that this would help, so far nothing was working. If they didn't get the results they were looking for, they would have to transport her to St. Joseph hospital where they specialize in Pediatrics. The results were good... Telsea started talking and asking to have something to eat or drink. Daddy helping her drink some juice and eat some graham crackers.

Telsea also had some special guest come in to visit her.....Sugar and Spice, they were such sweet dogs. The owners bring them around daily to cheer up the sick.
They did their job and cheered up our little baby girl, she loves dogs!!!!!

Then it was time to be move up to her room where she would be staying for a couple of nights.....

The Kids Zone Wing of the hospital.....

The look on Rachelle's face pretty much sums it up for any parent that is going through something like this with one of their baby's....
"Is this really happening?"
