And right now HER well-being is not good.  Not Riley.  Riley looks like nothing ever happened.  She’s running and laughing and smiling with clear eyes and no sign of her previous pain.

Angel, on the other hand.  First she developed the stink pink-eye.  She was given drops…NOT antibiotics.  And while I’m grateful that she no longer looks like this:

 

She does look like this:

 

And this (by ear):

 

This does not rest easy on my soul. Not when she sounds gravelly…and her breathing is shallow.  The pulm on call last night acted like I was just silly for calling in…but with a first thing this morning temp of 102 by ear…a runny nose and generally grumpy disposition…I worry.  No, she’s not coughing…but I still worry…how soon will she?  Since it’s Friday should I take her in to the ped and have them check her breath sounds?  Should I sit on it?  I’m treating with motrin and snuggling with her since she has the chills and shakes…but I don’t know how to call or when or if I should?  After last night I feel like I’m over-reacting…but I worry…I always worry about my baby-girl.

(And I keep hearing the pulm’s final words before I left the office Wednesday.  “With CF kids it’s real easy for this all to move to their chest.”)

ETA: I DID call the pediatrician.  Angel will go in at 1:30 EST to have them do a cursory check of her lungs and get some antibiotics (which I am specifically asking for)
