Late night

Tonight we had plans of Michael riding horses with Makenna, Zane and Dillon while I took Maddi, Zeke and Olivia for a walk. When we all got done we were going to roast marshmallows and then get ready for bed. While we were on our walk I noticed Maddi was wheezing a lot. She had been coughing all day but now it had gotten worse. She said her chest was hurting and every time she coughed her throat hurt. She even informed me she had "puked in her mouth" several times. When we got back the the house I told Michael and while he was getting the fire started for the marshmallow roast I called the hospital. They told me to bring her in. Just as we were getting ready to leave, Lorie and Bob drove in the driveway with their daughter and granddaughter. We said our hellos and then I left with Maddi. She was upset because she wanted to stay and play with Finley who is 8 and have marshmallows. The doctor gave Maddi and inhaler and told us to give her some type of cold or allergy medicine and some tylenol for her fever. She wasn't sure if Maddi has asthma or not but we are supposed to keep a watch on things and see if she continues to have problems breathing when she is active or at other times. It was after 9pm when we got home and no one was at the house. Maddi was hoping they all went to Lories house to roast marshmallows for a surprise for her. I knew better. Michael was called on duty. The other kids were sitting in the car at Lorie's and Michael was in the barn with Bob and Lorie working on a horse. She has to always have everything done right now whether it needs it or not. Finally at 10pm he was done. We go home and quickly got ready for bed. The others did get to roast a couple of marshmallows, but Maddi will have to wait for another day.

Bummer! I hope Maddi doesn't have asthma. I bet she was glad they didn't get to have fun without her!
