So I was up giving her a treatment. By the sounds of it, I'll be up most of tonight too. It is so scary and my advice is just to stay calm as you said in your post...I also do a lot of praying too. I will keep you in my prayers today. <BR/><BR/>Your a wonderful Mom!<BR/><BR/>SusanSusan of Pink Portuguese Roseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05382644526423090464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7044405.post-88372936517857140582008-01-22T07:57:00.000-08:002008-01-22T07:57:00.000-08:00Oh my goodness!

I can imagine how terrified all three of you were. As I was reading, I thought it sounded like croup and you certainly did the right thing taking her into the steamy bathroom. Quick thinking on your part, that's for sure. It is a horrible feeling to see your little one so vulnerable. I hope Hannah is feeling better today and you will all be able to get some sleep tonight.Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16917915745574664270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7044405.post-40909629106558502682008-01-22T06:37:00.000-08:002008-01-22T06:37:00.000-08:00Oh Heather........we have been through that same s...Oh Heather........we have been through that same scene, but it was many years ago!

Take care of each other!!<BR/>Maybe this story about something similiar will make you smile a little.<BR/>When Kenzie was 5 she got "fifth's disease" aka "slapped face syndrome" as it looks like your child has been slapped on both sides of her face. It is also upper respiratory and yucky. For some reason, Kenzie got it far worse than normal and one day she was suddenly gasping for air and could not breathe well at all. I was a single Mom then and we lived in a little house out in the country. I knew it would take the ambulance far too long to get to us, so I loaded her and Trin in the car (Trin was 3) and was flying down the road to get Kenzie to the emergency room. I am pretty sure I even ran a red light. I know I was going really fast. Then my little Trin pipes up from the back seat in that loveable little 3 year old voice. "Mommy, you should not drive fast, I saw on the news last night that a whole family was driving fast and got in a assident (her word) and Mommy, the whole family died" I reassured her we would be ok, but Mommy had to hurry because we were worried about sissy. So there I am rushing as fast as I could safely go, terrified that Kenzie would stop breathing before I could get to the hospital, and there's my three year old in the back seat in her car seat telling me over and over "Mommy, you really should not drive fast". LOL Can you imagine it? <BR/>Anyway. I am so glad you and your sweet girl are ok!! I hope she mends quickly!<BR/>((hugs))<BR/>~Cerri xoxoLittle Pink Studiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17932679883822417557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7044405.post-61729981626769425112008-01-21T20:01:00.000-08:002008-01-21T20:01:00.000-08:00VERY glad it all turned out ok!!!!VERY glad it all turned out ok!!!!Pretty Thingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00285473788765783338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7044405.post-20679426213625201042008-01-21T16:54:00.000-08:002008-01-21T16:54:00.000-08:00Oh Heather!

One of my three boys has stopped breathing on me four times throughout his life (I tell him one more and I am sending him back for a refund) all have been for different reasons eg choking, convultions etc. I just try to use it as a wake up call, to stop and smell the roses, to not take life and family for granted and to enjoy every moment you spend with your children (they grow up too fast).<BR/>Best wishes LindaLindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14034190747369350370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7044405.post-52686914654275565802008-01-21T14:17:00.000-08:002008-01-21T14:17:00.000-08:00Sorry about your little one.
