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?

Oh man! My poor Livvy! That must have been most frightening for her not able to breath! I am so glad you were smart to have everyone stay close and was able to get to her quickly! May be she had exercise induced asthma!

I was just thinking about you all this morning and had an urge to give them extra hugs! Now I know why!

So so so sorry it went from a fun 5K to a horrible experience at the end! Hope Livvy won't have any lasting effect! Love you! Please tell her Nana Smooth sends her love! :)

One question, did she have a cold recently? Was there any fluid/mucus blocking her airway when you got to her? Was she standing or down?

I will give her a HUGE hug from her Nana Smooth.

To answer your questions: No cold that we know of. However, the asthma doc did say she had some post-nasal drip upon examination. She was standing ... actually, still trying to run. CRAZY girl! When I picked her up she went kind of limp but was coherent. She followed instructions well when we got home (such as sit up, try and breath this in, etc.). She never did panic. When you ask her about it she says she felt like two pieces of her inside were sticking together and she couldn't breath. Vocal cord dysfunction? I just don't know.

wow, that is very scary. i am so glad that she is okay now and i hope it's nothing reoccurring. take care.

From Smooth on Fri, Jun 24, 2011 at 21:11:47 from 67.2.124.217

Tracheal spasm? Vocal chord prolapse? Something triggered the airway to close or stick together! Hmm, I don't know! I am just so glad she is okay! Luvs and hugs!

Let me know what you think of it? I think I might tweak the squat exercise. I am not a big fan of squats. They are great if done properly, but far too often people (including myself when I am not focusing) do them incorrectly which will cause more problems than good.
