Unfortunately, our Sophie-girl has pneumonia and a full-blown sinus infection that has caused her eyes to swell up. We discovered all of this after visiting the urgent care doctor - who gave us no answers and sent us to the emergency room - still no answers and finally at our pediatrician's follow-up appointment yesterday, the x-rays told us what was wrong. While we are not happy that she has become so ill, we are grateful that at least now we know why she's been so lethargic and sick AND now, we know how to treat it. We are the proud owners of a nebulizer and she'll be receiving medication through it every 4 hours on top of 3 other antibiotics to help clear this gunk out!
My poor girl - she has been such a trooper, having had her urine drawn, blood drawn, IV stuck in her after about 3 attempts, x-rays and now, breathing machines. It's true, she is a warrior.
Prayers for a speedy and complete recovery would be greatly appreciated.
I leave you with a picture of Sophie at happier, healthier times - just last week, while she was playing dress-up with all of her FABULOUS accessories. Hope you feel like having fun again really soon, sweet girl!

LOVE the outfit Sophie!! I am praying you feel better soon and get well super quick. Thank God Mommy was so persistent in getting you care!
I'll be praying that she feels better soon! I understand what you are feeling. Chase had pneumonia back in November, along with all of the ear infection stuff. It is no fun. We've actually had a nebulizer for him since he was 6 to 8 months old. The reason for getting one is never fun, but having one has sure come in handy since then.
Hopefully she has a super-speedy recovery!
