Sick Little Girl

I am doing this post from Blair Batson Children's Hospital. This has been our residence since Wednesday afternoon. Hart started coughing and running fever Saturday. Sunday morning we packed up and left Collinsville to head to the pediatrician's office in Jackson. They discovered and ear infection and we were sent home with antibiotics. Mother met Matt on Monday night and took both girls back to Collinsville. Hart never seemed to improve and continued running fever. Mom let me know that she was very sick on Wednesday morning and to call the pediatrician. I immediately drove towards Collinsville and met up with mom in Hickory and grabbed Hart to bring her in. She was pitiful and I knew immediately it was not good. We went straight to the doctors and when we arrived she still had fever and was really struggling breathing. I could see the concern on the doctor's face. They gave her a breathing treatment and then hooked her up to the oxygen monitor. Her oxygen level was at 84 and her bpm was at 202.They immediately hooked her up to an oxygen machine. They also tested her for RSV and it came back positive. To say I was an emotional wreck at this point is an understatement. The doctor then came back in and told me we were definitely headed to the hospital, then she said now I am justmcontemplating whether she should go by ambulance. I held it together, but inside I was freaking out! So they pulled up, sirens and all, and put her little carseat on the stretcher. They wheeled us through the full waiting room and out into the ambulance. When we arrived they did xrays, bloodwork, iv, etc... The xray showed pneumonia. On top of all this she has a double ear infection. It has been a rough couple of days, but today things have finally turned around. She is smiling and resting well. They just removed the oxygen and drip. she is doing ok without oxygen. It is still a little lower than normal, so we end up back on it. We will for sure be here again tonight and they will reevaluate the situation tomorrow. Please keep us in your prayers.

Christmas Eve

We're Back!

It has been quite a while. I am much busier with two than I ever imagined! Alot has happened since my last post. We have had a rough winter with both girls getting sick a good bit. That is one thing that has kept us so busy.I will try to catch our one or two readers up on our lives.

We just celebrated three wonderful years of marriage. Matt had a final the next morning so he spent it in the library and me with the two girls. Maybe next year we can take a little trip.

Matt has gotten a job secured after graduation in May. We will get to stay in Jackson and he will be working for an incredible firm. We could not feel more blessed. He just finshed his 2nd to last semester.

Ella Katherine has turned two and had a circus themed low key party. She had a blast. She is learning things left and right, and she amazes me everyday. She can learn the words to any song, (Should've Put a Ring on It and Apple Bottom Jeans are among her favorite unfortunately). She has already knocked her front tooth loose and we are in the process of saving it. She is constantly on the move and is full of herself!

Hart was recently Christened at our new church that we are in the process of joining. We just love it. She is getting quite active. She just turned eight months. I think she is going to be a slow developer like EK was. She has no interest in crawling. She is seriously the best baby I have ever been aroung. We are so fortunate.

The McPhail's just welcomed another baby. Sweet little Logan was born on December
17th. My sis in law, Jenny, is doing great. I can't believe my brother is a Dad. There are four generations of McPhail men now. We will be going to Birmingham tomorrow to meet him. I can't wait to get my hands on that little cutie!

Oh and we also are in the process of selling our townhome. Keep it in your prayers please! I am posting a few pics of the girls off my mom's camera. I am in Collinsville right now and these are the only pics I have with me. More to come later.
