ROUGH NIGHT?

Uh... yeah.  Crew and Elle have been fighting off a pretty nasty cold.  I took them to the Dr. yesterday and she said that it hadn't gone into their lungs.  At that point Crew seemed worse than Elle- so she told me if he started to get weezy, I should give him a breathing treatment.  Long story short- Crew is improving, and Elle isn't.  She came up to our room at about 11:00 last night, barely able to breath.  It was kinda scary.  She sounded AWFUL.  It almost sounded like a really bad asthma attack.  I'm glad it happened this week, because if Dale had been out of town I would have definitely taken her (and the other 2) to the emergency room.  Having an almost Dr. in the house has it's perks.  Elle has a heart defect that affects her immune system... so she gets EVERYTHING!  Her first few years of life were pretty tough, then her 3rd and 4th years were cake.  Then I sent her to school.  That's when it all fell apart.  ugh.  So now we are trying to get her better... QUICK.  We have some pretty killer Thanksgiving plans (that the kids don't know about) and it would be horrible for her to have to spend the next 3 days in a hotel room.  Fingers crossed!
