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...

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!!

daddy/daughter dance

I have some catching up to do on the blog, but I wanted to write tonight while my feelings and emotions are raw... About a month ago we received an email about the daddy/daughter dance tonight.  Jason attached the flyer and forwarded it to me saying, "I have to work."  I frowned and moved on.  I didn't think much about it until the other day.  I had an "a-ha" moment and asked Jason if we could ask his dad so Lexi wouldn't miss out on the ball.  Jason called Kevin the next day and I received a text from Jason right after saying, "My dad would be happy to take Lexi."  I was delighted and Lexi was on cloud 9 when I told her Paw Paw wanted to take her to the ball (side note...we didn't tell Lexi about the ball because we didn't think she was going to be able to attend since Jason was out of town). The next day Jason left work early and met us at the mall for a little ball dress shopping.  Lexi danced around the dressing room in about 8 diff...
