Bump in the road

Well, this past week we hit a bump in the road. What seemed like the start of another cold turned into pneumonia. It developed in her left lung, which is the lung that was operated on. We decided to take her to the ER at All Children's at 3:00 am on Sunday morning and I never imagined we would still be here today, which is Friday. We are hoping to get discharged today. She will go home with two different kinds of antibiotics and also use an inhaler. We are going to set up an appointment with the pulmonary doctor on Wednesday for a follow up xray. They suspect she may also have asthma. She's has proven to us again how strong she is.

During our stay, she was able to see some of her friends from the NICU. It was very sweet for them to pay her a visit. Of course everyone fell in love with her and one nurse even said she was going to miss seeing her cute face.

Bill and I took turns staying with her and we never left her side. We are exhausted and look forward to being home this weekend. Here are some pics from this week.

  1. Oh my gosh I have some of these same kinds of pictures from when our little one was in a car accident. She was 6 months at the time (1 year old now) and I can truly relate to what you must have been going through having your little one in the hospital for so long. Check my blog posts from January 2010 if you want to read more about what happened.
