Back to urgent care

Elizabeth is still having a considerably difficult time with her breathing, and we decided it was best to take her back in tonight. The poor thing is really getting stir crazy and discouraged, but any time she is remotely active she starts coughing uncontrollably. I have her scheduled to see her regular dr on Wednesday, but she was complaining about her back hurting so badly, and she was still coughing so much that we decided it was best to take her in tonight. This is not productive coughing, this is deep, lusty, can't catch your breath lung coughing. The dr called them bronchial spasms and restricted airways. The dr gave her 2 new breathing treatment medications one of which is another steroid, and she is very hopeful that this will do the trick and settle her system down. Please say a prayer for her. She was very quiet on the way home and looked "different." She said she didn't know how to describe how she was feeling, but that it was different and might be that she's nervous but that she's not really sure why. She's a trooper, but she's also her mother's daughter and is prone to anxiety, so prayers for her would be much appreciated.
