CRAZY!!!!!

Things have been a little crazy around here!!

Lilly's health was a concern before we left for Florida, 5 days before we were due to fly out we noticed Lilly didn't seem to be feeling very well. We took her to the doctor and found that she had a ear infection. We were given antibiotics to treat it and were told she would be well enough to fly.

Just a few days after we arrived in Florida I noticed that Lilly wasn't acting like herself again and also that she had a white film covering the inside of her mouth, my best guess was she got thrush from the antibiotics. David and I ended up taking Lilly to the ER to get the thrush taken care of and its a good thing we did.

When the doctor checked out Lilly she agreed that she has thrush and a bad case of it, but there was something else she was more concerned about and she ordered chest X-Rays for Lilly.

They then tell us that from the look of the first set of X-Rays, Lilly has pneumonia! But they want to take another set of X-Rays just to be sure since the first set didn't turn out as well as they would have liked since Lilly would not hold still. We are told that if she does have pneumonia that they will have to hospitalize her for a few days to get the treatment going!

We do the 2nd set of X-Rays and they come back to tell us that yes she has pneumonia, they decided to give Lilly a breathing treatment and a shot of some major antibiotics so we could go home and not have to keep Lilly in the hospital, Thank God!

We have to keep a close eye on Lilly, make sure she takes all the medications, keep her away from water, no extreme temperature changed and lots of rest for the next 10 days.

So we are going to be house bound for awhile, but that's ok with us as long as Lilly gets better and once she is all better then we can hit the beach!!
