I got home from work this a.m. to find Gabi sleeping again at 10am. She had been sick for a couple of days but today she was worse, so I sat with her and held her a bit and her little heart was beating fast and she seemed short of breath. I took her to the hospital right away. I think I have said before but Pneumonia is very easy to get and very serious here in Brasil. So, 2 breathing treatments, 1 x-ray, a shot, and $180 real later we went back home. It was a 5 hour ordeal but she is a lot better now. She laid in my arms all day and slept, poor little baby. I could have held her for 10 hours… but she was up and running the minute we stepped in the door. Thank goodness for modern medicine.
