Well, Christmas eve started off interesting. The day before Sierra had been coughing... not not wheezing or anything like that. At about 4am Christmas eve morning sierra ran into our bedroom coughing and saying "im gonna puke". So James got up and she kept coughing and coughing so much that she was gaging. So I got up to see what I could do to help. She sounded bad... and sounded like things might start to go downhill so we decided to give her some of the prednisone (Steroids "anti-inflammatory medications" such as prednisone can be used for asthma as well as other lung diseases. Prednisone and other steroids help calm airway inflammation in asthma. ) that we have for her to take as needed. As soon as I gave it to her she caughed and vomited it up. So we gave her some water and she did the same again. I decided to go ahead and take her in since it was obvious that she wasnt going to hold down anything and i didnt think a breathing treatment alone would be enough. So I drove to the hospital. To my joy it was empty. She was seen right away. Her oxygen saturation was 94/95% not terrible.. They said it was good we came in when we did and they were able to give her two injections of prednisone into her legs. That way she got the meds but didnt have to worry about not being able to hold it down. They gave her a teddy bear to keep. And we went home. Over the day she got a little better.
Wednesday night Brady's girlfriend came over at around 6:30pm. Shortly after that Tom and Carady arrived. We had our traditional 'special spaghetti dinner'. The sauce spent most of the day cooking. It was yummy! After dinner we made cookies for Santa with Sierra. Then it was time for her to go to bed. After she went to bed we played apples to apples. It was fun. After that Santa came and delivered a barbie house, a bike and a bunch of other things that were wrapped in either Santa wrapping paper or paper that said "special delivery from the north pole". Cute. Around that time James, Brady, Carady and Tom went to karaoke. Brady's gifrlfriend stayed with me. They were there about an hour and a half. We decided it would be fun to wake Sierra up. So Tom went up and woke her up. Her face was priceless as she was coming down the stairs. she got a lot of stuff! About 1/2 the way into opening her gifts she started coughing again and gaging. We decided she needed a breathing treatment. She refused to stop opening gifts just because she had the mask on her. And Tom wasnt about to make her stop. The last gift she opened was a electric guitar from Tom (and his mom). Tom also gave her an amp. He taught her a few things on it tonight.
We nicknamed this year "the year of the Hannah Montana". Between her grandma (and papa), her aunt lisa, and her uncle tom she got FIVE hannah montana/miley cyrus dolls!
After we all opened our gifts we had cinnamon rolls and decided it was time for a nap. Sierra didnt want to sleep much as she was too excited and wanted to play with her new toys. She wanted to ride her new bike but it's still way too snowy and icey. She wouldnt make it an inche without getting stuck. The rest of the time we spent playing with her and her new stuff. We play with her guitar hero and helped her open up her things. Later we played a game of phase 10. For dinner we had prime rib, mashed potoatos, corn and dinner rolls. After dinner we had Chocolate cream pie. Yummy.
