The call you never want to recieve

So yeah I am a bit behind on blogging and I promise a good catch-up post soon but I have to talk about yesterday's events first.

To get everyone up to speed in the past I have been concerned to find Camryn at times with blue feet, hand, arms, legs. At times when it didn't seem she should be cold. I had spoken with our great pediatrician about this and as long as Camryn's tongue and gums were not turning blue/purple, we felt pretty confident that she was ok.

Friday afternoon I was working from home when I got a call from our awesome daycare provider Lisa, sounding rattled and letting me know that Camryn had quit breathing after getting her nose suctioned out. She was breathing again at that point but had given everyone quite a scare with multiple rounds of stopping breathing. She had the full on blue lips and had not breathed for at least a minute the first time.

I ran right over there and called the doc on our way, they wanted me to call then back when I was with Camryn. The pediatrician decided we needed to head right to the Pediatric Emergency Room. A baby with issues breathing get to bypass all the waits and we were in a room in a flash! After checking her over the nice doctors determined she had Infant Breath Holding Spells... What that means for our future I am not sure, we'll follow up with our pediatrician and see. But basically she got mad and held her breath. She did this multiple times and I can only imagine how scary it was for Lisa to stare at her Blue lips and try to get her to breath again! Thankfully we are blessed with having someone watch the girls who is calm, competent, and very intune to my kids!

Let's hope that first time was the last for this fun childhood experience!
