Macie had a cough that would just not go away. It was getting worse and then she got a fever. That's when I decided she needed to go to the doctor. To my shock, they told me she had pneumonia. She was also only 17lbs which is very small for an almost 15 month old. They told me I needed to keep her quarantined for 10 days while she was on antibiotics because she was very contagious but also susceptible to getting other things since her immune system is so weak and she's so small. So, I went on lockdown with Macie for 10 days. I missed out on a few of the kids activities but they were kind and understood. She had a humidifier at night which helped a lot with the coughing. Poor thing was just so tired, sleepy and didn't have much of an appetite.
After 10 days I took her back to the doctor and found out the pneumonia was gone! I was so happy. I was so worried about her the whole time and hoped we didn't have to go to the hospital or anything serious like that. Family and friends were praying for her which was so comforting. I'm so thankful for modern medicine and that she is okay. She's back to her happy self now.
