Me and Ally are Sick!

Tuesday last week ally started coughing really bad at Valley Fair Mall. It was about 4:30 pm and I couldn't get an appointment with my regular doctor. I went to the after ours clinic where she had a chest x-ray. The said they didn't see anything but if she got worse or started running fevers to take her in again. She started running fevers on Thursday and I took her in again. They gave her and antibiotic and sent us home. Friday I came down with a cold. Friday was the worst day to be sick because of Josh's party. Ally had thrown up ally friday night and I was worried. She wasn't eating anything during the day and I was worried she was dehydrated. Friday we put her back on oxygen. She was turning purple and her stats we only at 68. I call in for oxygen. they came and told me that they couldn't give it to her until the doctor wrote a prescription. So I called the doctor and had a prescription faxed. It was getting way late and I still had to got to Zurchers to get decorations for the party. I finally called them and told them that I would come and get the oxygen. Josh was mad because I wasn't going to be able to get the decorations, but I though the oxygen for Ally was more important. I drove as fast as I could even jumping speed bumps with Ally in the back hoping that I could get the oxygen as soon as possible. Got there and I still had to wait 20 min, to get it. On Saturday night she thew up dark brown which was alarming considering she had only had vanilla Ice cream and formula the day before. I called the after hours care and told them we needed to come in. The doctor said that nothing was in her lungs and the dark stuff was probably some built up mucus in her throat. She seems to be doing better today. She had a full bottle and did not throw up last night. I have been thinning her food which seems to help. I hope we both fell better soon.
