This week has really been a trial. For those of you that didn' t know Addison was in UVRMC for 2 1/2 days with complications from RSV (respritory sylinacal virus). After basically quarentineing her, our best efforts failed us. She got it anyway.
She was admitted on tuesday after I saw that her fingers and toes were turning blue and was fighting to breath, had a temp of 103, and wasn't doing well at all. Mom had had enough. We rushed to the doctors office and they sent us to the hospital right away. Where they suctioned her out and got 10cc's of crud from her lungs and sinuses. I was a wreck at this point. They put a baby IV in her arm and had to do it twice because she was dehydrated. I felt like the worst mother in the world.
After 2 days and alot of prayer she was doing alot better and they sent her home. She is recovered about 95% but is still stuffy and worn out. But I suspect soon she will be good as new.
Thank you to everyone that worried and called us. I love living this close to family and friends that care so much about us.

I'm so sorry you had to go through that, Christy! I'm so mad at myself for not following a prompting...I kept thinking of calling you the last few days and I just never did. Now I feel like a shmuck! And don't you EVER feel like a terrible mom...things sometimes just happen, no matter how perfect we try to do things. I'll call you soon...
That story almost made me cry. I would have been a wreck if I had to go through that. I can't even handle shots; an IV must have been horrible. I am so glad she is doing better. We will call you soon. we miss you.
Glad to hear things are better. You are great Mom. As hard as we all try, it seems things just happen. We just have to try our best. Hopefully all will be better soon. We are all just going to have to stay holed up til Spring.
