My Little Valentine

Lexi was admitted to the hospital on 2.17.11.  Jason was out of town.  He was of course, the farthest from home that he ever goes.  I took Lexi to the doctor on Valentine's day and she was diagnosed with RSV.  On Wednesday night that week Lexi fell asleep on my lap and did not really wake up until late the next morning.  I called the doctor on Thursday morning and they had me bring her in at 1:30 PM.  At the doctor's office they did a white blood cell count and two breathing treatments.  The white blood cell count was fine, but they sent us to the hospital because she was on the verge of being severally dehydrated and her pulse ox was low.  Mimi met us at the doctor's office and rode with us to the hospital.  When we arrived at Children's our room was waiting for us.  The room we were in this time with either the exact room or the room next door to the room we were in when Lexi was two months old.  Needless to say, my emotions were just as strong this time around as we entered the room.  The nurses came in and brought Lexi her very own stethoscope!  They listened to Nine's heart and taught Lexi how to listen with it too!  Dr. Tate took me out to the hallway and explained how we were going to proceed.  Lexi was going to get an IV for fluids and if her lungs sounded clear we did not have to get a chest x-ray.  When we walked back to the room Lexi decided to start drinking on her own.  Dr. Tate left the room and Mimi went to get him because she was drinking even more.  Dr. Tate said Lexi did not have to get an IV at that point.  We were cleared to leave that night, but we chose to stay "just in case."  Lexi played with Aunt Sarah and Mimi for a little bit and then she and I stayed the night together in our little "hotel" room.  By the next morning we were out of the hospital and back home!

Since Lexi missed Valentine's Day I took her out yesterday in her Anthro V Day dress for some pictures...

Day 8

Sometimes when life seems hard, sad, or stressful, I like to just stop for a moment and find something happy or peaceful. This evening, Lexi and I were driving home and we noticed the beautiful sunset. I stopped so we could take a picture on my phone. When I look at the sky and it looks like this, it makes me think of the loved ones we have lost and are now in Heaven. Instead of feeling sadness, I feel comfort they are in their forever home in the arms of Jesus. I'm thankful to have to ability to remember and the faith to feel comfort. - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

Day 12

Today I am thankful for Apple.  Apple makes great technology.  Jason has been in Canada for almost a week and because of our iPads we were able to facetime with him!  Lexi gets a little shy when the conversation begins, but she quickly warms up and loves to talk and kiss him.  We love and miss him so much when he is traveling.  We are looking forward to the summer when he is home with us for a couple of months straight!!

kindergarten boxcar parade

Well, everyone was healthy until Lexi got the flu and I got pneumonia.  Needless to say, it's been a rough week...BUT, we are better again and for the most part back to normal.  Jason, Lexi and I all worked together on this and we think it turned out great!  All the boxcars were unique and wonderful!  The parade was wonderful...it should have been televised!!
