I didn't tell you guys about this but this was the scene just days after Ava turned 3. Something always seems to happen to her around her bday. The year of her first bday, she got nurse maid's elbow and we were in the ER at midnight until 2 a.m. the day of her party while she got it "popped" back into place. I still cringe when I think of that. I can't remember what happened for her second last year but this year tops the cake.
Ava had a very bad asthma attack. She's had inhalers which we use on an 'as needed' basis because it's never been that bad. For some reason, this time, it was so severe that the after hours facility we took her to (it was a Sunday afternoon) felt the need to call the ambulance and whisk us over to the local Children's hospital. I cannot tell you how scared I was but she pulled through it like a trooper. I hope we never have to go through that again - ever!
Now...I'm looking at the insurance statements from BlueCross BlueShield of Texas and cursing the healthcare system! I think I may need to sell a kidney in order to afford the charges. And maybe, just maybe it's time for us to move to Canada. I'm just sayin'.

Glad your sweet girl is okay, but kinda angry about your insurance charges! I'm going through the same thing with ER bills from when my husband broke his toe. Sigh. We definitely have a broken health care system.
i am so glad that Ava is OK. severe asthma attacks are so scary ... i can't even imagine what you were going through. and yes those ER bills are insane .. there is no wonder why people refuse to go when they know something is wrong. sad.
Poor Ava. Glad she's better.
Aww poor girl! I'm glad she's better. That just looks scary!
Hi Rania! Love your name!
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog! It's always nice to meet women on the web who I can relate to. My hair is doing much better, so far so good. I think you're right to stop the breakage I have to perm more. I usually do 6 to 8 weeks. But, my laziness causes me to wait til about 3 months sometimes. hehe. Your daughter is gorgeous. So sad to red about her athsma attack on her bday. MY nephew has the same condition and spent many nights in the hospital. So scary!
