The kids were playing hospital and all of the webkinz were the patients

After Makenzie was feeling better her and I were playing with my phone taking pictures and playing games because she was really bored.

Early on Friday morning I woke up to a terrible sound, I jumped out of bed opened my door and found Makenzie on the other side of it struggling to breathe. I picked her up and carried her to the couch and asked what was wrong but she didn't have enough air to talk and was a purplish blue color so I dialed 911 and spoke with the dispatcher. The dispatcher could hear Makenzie struggling to breathe and told me to stay on the line until the ambulance arrived. At that point I yelled for Kevin to please get up and come help me, he jumped out of bed fully awake (which is a miracle because I usually have to shake him to wake him) and ran to the living room, I handed him the phone and tucked a blanket around Makenzie because she was shaking so badly and held her in my lap and continued praying for her. Kevin went outside to watch for the ambulance and as soon as they pulled up they put her on the gurney and hooked her up to some machines and asked which hospital we wanted her taken to. I told them my preference and noticed them glance at each other so I then asked which was closer and they said they other one so we changed it to the other one and hopped in the ambulance and took off with Makenzie clutching my hand tightly and tears streaming down her little face and a panicked look in her eyes. I just kept holding her hand telling her it would be OK and praying for her the whole time and the next thing I know her little hand went limp and her eyes rolled back in her head and she started convulsing and the paramedic said to the driver, "Floor it we are losing her", this was one of the most terrifying moments in my entire life and I just felt the blood drain out of my face and I thought I was going to faint. He then asked me if they had permission to intubate her if they needed to and I said , "yes, of course" he put another mask over top of the little oxygen line that he had on her and said it should help and within seconds she was breathing normally and he said her oxygen level had gone from 27% to 100%. The color started coming back to her face and she was already starting to breathe better. As they rolled her into the ER I felt relief and knew that she was going to be OK. In about 10 minutes Kevin and his mom showed up and told me that Grandpa was with Kylan at home. Makenzie was doing so much better by now and smiled at them. We stayed at the ER for a couple of hours so they could monitor her and do some chest X-rays and then she was released but the DR told me to go get all of her meds right then because she was going to need them. In the end she is on 6 different meds. a breathing treatment and an inhaler but she's doing great right now. She's sleeping with us at night so I can monitor her and she's not allowed to leave the house until Wednesday for a doctor's checkup but she seems fine. She's very thankful to all of our friends and family that have called and emailed her and one of her BFF's dropped of a Get Well Soon bag with a bunch of goodies and a balloon...this really perked her up! Please continue to pray for her that the pneumonia and croup are totally gone and that she is totally healed without any physical restrictions because she's such an active little girl!

The doctor's at the hospital were really great with Makenzie because they put all of her masks and tubing in a bag for her and Kylan to play doctor with and they even sent a mask home for Kylan. We were in such a hurry that Kenzie left the house with no shoes or slippers on so they gave her a little pair of footies to wear home so her feet wouldn't be cold. I'm so glad that we changed our mind and decided to go to Bailey because they were GREAT and I would recommend this hospital to all of our friends and family!!
