Crazy few days!

We've had a crazy week! Amelleah spent nearly 4 entire days in the hospital thanks to RSV (a respiratory virus). She needed oxygen, breathing treatments, and deep suctioning. I'm going to give a short time line here (mostly for my own record!)
Monday (Feb 28th) - she woke up with a cough, which was weird since she hadn't been sick
Tuesday- we went to the clinic, RSV and Flu tests were negative, given steriods
Wednesday evening - we went to the ER because she was struggling a litte with breathing, chest xray looked like pneumonia
Thursday night/Friday morning - back to ER for difficulty breathing, repeat xray showed no pneumonia, RSV was now positive, oxygen levels were low, had a breathing treatment and some blow by oxygen, then sent home.... which we were NOT happy about. But we already an appointment scheduled to follow up with our doctor from the 1st ER visit. So 2 hrs after leaving the ER we went to the clinic. Doctor was shocked that she had not been admitted. He called the hospital (ER) and told them we were coming back to be admitted. We got back to the ER (which is the process for being admitted) at 8:30am on Friday. After a breathing treatment, a couple times of deep suctioning, and pretty low oxygen levels they started her on oxygen and we started the wait for a room. Finally around 3 pm we were taken to a room... an overflow, pediatric unit. The normal unit was full... and THAT is a whole other story! We eventually were moved to the normal unit due to lack of nursing care/attention. We came home Monday late morning!
Anyway.... Here are some pictures!

Sick baby girl!

Starting to feel a little better!

Finally, no more oxygen... "When can I go home?"

In other news...

This is Amelleah's latest preference for sleeping... NOT MINE! She always pulls the blanket or burp rag up over her face!

Before Amelleah got sick the girls (and Lincoln) had a little impromtu photo shoot, which included more videos that you can watch here

The Girls!

So, even though it was (is) a crazy week we are very thankful for all the support we have had from friends! It is so wonderful since we don't have any family nearby or even in the nearest 900 miles!
