Emily got sick rather suddenly the last few days. She was fine on Saturday, went to dance, full of energy. Sunday morning woke up and made a run for the sink and coughed up blood-streaked mucus and a some pink/brown tinted liquid and for the rest of the day had a lot of productive coughing while doing her vest. Yesterday she was coughing up greenish stuff and then was up all night coughing so I was going to call her clinic dr. today anyway; but she just woke up a little while ago and is coughing and it sounds like a seal barking. Not a really high pitched noise like when my youngest son had croup as a baby but it's still the only way I can describe it.
Any ideas on what this means? It was just normal productive sounding cough overnight. There is nothing coming up with this. She says taking in a deep breath hurts her chest so we're doing her albuteral. I am not sure if doing her vest right away is the right thing to do, or bringing her into a steamy bathroom or what... this has me nervous. She's barely gotten over this last round of bronchitis.
