Our start to February





Well where to start.. Lets see February started good for us. We had a wonderful snow storm and come to think of it we have had snow a lot in the last few days. Last Sunday we noticed that Addison had what seemed to be a little cold. She was coughing and sneezing and seemed to be having trouble breathing. On Monday the cold seemed worse and I spent most of that day trying to make her comfortable. I was feeling bad for Jace because he was feeling left out due to all the attention Addie was getting. Jace loves bubbles so to help him feel loved we went and played bubble warriors!! Jace was having so much fun. Monday night was rough Addie would not eat she slept thru the night but mom did not. I was up every two hours trying to make sure my little girl was okay. The only noise Addie would make was her big adult cough and sneezing that literally shakes her whole body. Tuesday morning I had enough and decided to follow my mom instincts and take her in to the doctor. The doctor took one look and listen to her and said we would have to be admitted to the hospital to have her monitored since she had not eaten and was very lethargic, as well as her lungs were coarse and her oxygen was low. Talk about stressful. We ended up spending 5 days at the hospital due to RSV. Friday we were sent home for about 3 hours only to be readmitted due to low oxygen. Addie had to have an IV which was placed in her head because all the other five spots they tried kept blowing out. Thanks to prayers, great friends, and wonderful nursing staff we made it thru and today we found out that Addie no longer needed the oxygen that she was sent home with. I am so grateful that our bodies heal and that Addie is little enough to not remember any of the torture she had to endure. One last thing Addie is starting to smile =) We are blessed, we are home and we are happy. What a crazy start to February.
