I sit writing this message from the hospital...yep the hospital. Not where I thought I would be 6 weeks after I gave birth. I was suppose to be sitting back in my desk today, but sometimes it hard to breath for little girls.

After a doctor's appointment for a stuffy nose and cough yesterday revealed that Felicity was having labored breathing and she was still that way at 5pm after breathing treatments and oral steroids, we headed to the ER. The ER doctors made me feel like I was overreacting - hello she is 6 weeks old people and my doctor said go to the hospital! Thank goodness the pediatric doctor wanted her to stay, so after the tear-inducing, gut-turning lap work (you never want to watch a newborn have blood work done) upstairs we went. As soon as they got her in her room and hooked up to an oxygen reader her oxygen dipped to the 80's (should stay around 95 or higher) so she was put on oxygen. Here were are 24 hours after we got to the ER and still on the oxygen :(
What we know: - She doesn't have RSV, Flu, or pneumonia
- She does have an ear infection..again - left ear this time
- Her chest cold is breaking up
- We are here for a least another night
- how to love and cuddle her
- that our family is loved and prayed for
- that we have an awesome God
What we don't know: - When we will get to go home
- When her breathing will improve
- If this will scar her lungs
- what is causing her allergies/stuffy nose that leads to drainage
My heart breaks each time I hear her little cry and I wish so bad I could just make her better by cuddling her. My family is so blessed to be so loved by so many people. We feel truly blessed to be loved and prayed upon by so many.
