New Year, New Deductibles

So we are here at The Cooks ER with Henley and its 12:30 am. Adam and I are so tired, Henley is being entertained by an iPhone. 

Tonight we had a great prayer time with some of our good friends. About 25 people showed up without their children to come and pray over Henley. So humbling to have people take time on a holiday and come spend some of their night with us. 

Henley started having a runny nose on Friday afternoon and then started coughing today. It got worse through the day & it was bad enough that I felt I needed to give her a breathing treatment before bed. I put her to bed with some warm water to drink & her humidifier on full blast. About 30 min after I put her down I heard her moaning and struggling to breathe in the monitor. She had a very barky cough and had stridor. I have heard a lot of things but never a cough and struggle like that. I told Adam we needed to take her to the ER right away. 

So since we are scheduled for surgery in 1.5 days I felt like we needed to get this figured out & under control. However, I have no idea what they will say tomorrow in pre-op. Its very possible they could call off the surgery tomorrow.

Results are in. Henley has croup. I suppose I will call surgery pre-op in a few hours to see if they will still consider surgery or if it will be postponed. Sigh. 

God, what is the lesson here?
