Beautiful morning turned scary.
My girls and I decided to run a 5K this morning (a bribe of slurpees helped in the decision making process). It started out absolutely wonderfully. We were running about a 10:40ish pace, laughing, giggling, running through sprinklers when possible, etc. Anyway ... Livvy kept wanting to run faster. I would hold her back and tell her to just stay with the group until we got close to home, and so she did. As soon as we turned into our neighborhood she looked at me with eager eyes and said, "Okay Mom ... I am going to run fast now!" I smiled and told her to have fun. As soon as Sophia saw what Livvy was doing she decided to join in. About one minute later I hear Sophia screaming, "Something is wrong with Liv." I was only a few yards behind them and so was there within seconds. Livvy was trying to breath but all you could hear was this low gurgly wheeze. I asked her to talk to me, but she could not respond. I picked her up and ran home with her (luckily we were very close). Rylee had run ahead to grab my inhaler. Livvy could not inhale the medicine so I puffed in about 5 pumps. In less than a minute she started breathing more normally, but was acting lethargic and not herself. I called my asthma doc and took her in. After three hours of various testing all asthma and allergy tests came back negative. I have no idea what happened. We are to see her regular doc next week and get a CBC done. She is acting completely like herself now. She says that she felt great the whole run and was having fun until her sudden incident. It was a horrible experience.
Could it just be a virus?
