Sick

Well, on the Sunday after her marathon buffet, Z bird pretty much stopped eating, had a 103 fever, and nearly passed out while I was changing her diaper - definitely not healthy. We went in on a Sunday to the clinic associated with our doctor and were sent home with a nebulizer and instructions to go to the hospital if breathing didn't improve. The next morning we went to our pediatrician, who had some x-rays done and listened a bit more closely in order to actually diagnose. Some antibiotics (it was bacterial pneumonia in her left lung) and more nebulizer treatments later, our bird is back to her regular self. Some would say that on Tuesday she was even almost all the way there, as evidenced by this chatty video.

Though, I'd say she wasn't totally healthy until Thursday - you could tell she was feeling better as her appetite slowly returned. Glad to have her back to normal.

Here are some photos of her on Monday - definitely not her normal self.

Doesn't she just look sad and uncomfortable? Poor thing.

Mom, put down that camera and take care of me!
