RSV....continued

Well, Hailey is doing much better and will likely go home today. Molly is hanging in there respiratory-wise, but she's refusing to take her bottle, so we have to see what she does. The docs want to keep her at the hospital to monitor her, as she could be just entering the worst of the RSV course, however, with the Synagis on board, she may have an easier time fighting it off. Andrew is still hanging out at home, showing some signs of the virus, but still breathing okay. We are keeping our fingers crossed that this will be the worst of it! Thank you all for your support and words of encouragement! I know we'll get through this and it will become just another chapter in our life, but we certainly apppreciate all of the prayers and support!

RSV x 3

Well, just as I suspected, Molly and Andrew both tested positive for RSV. Right now, they are doing okay, but that was the course Hailey took as well. Andrew's right ear appears to be infected, but he doesn't seem too bothered by it at the moment. Molly is running a fever and coughing, so I have to keep a very close eye on her. Both of their sats were good this morning, so I'll continue to monitor that as well. I'm waiting to hear from Molly's pulmonologist to see what he would like me to do as far as bringing her in or just watching her at home! Hailey is still at Children's with Tim, we aren't sure how long they want to keep her. She's doing about the same as last night.

Will continue to update as new things occur! Thanks for your prayers and support!

RSV update

Well, if you don't already know, Hailey was admitted last night for respiratory complications due to RSV , and I'm fairly certain that Andrew is coming down with it as well. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the first round of Synagis for Molly will keep her protected. As of this evening, Hailey was showing signs of improvement and maintaining acceptable sats without the assitance of O2. I think as soon as she's willing to eat and drink, she'll be able to come home. If you believe in prayer, please send some up for my family, as we face the newest challenge!

Thanks so much!

A Little Bit of Christmas

Well, I know I need to post the pictures and tell about all the fun stuff regarding Christmas, but I have a little one, Hailey, with RSV and have been pretty much focused on that. But, here are just a few pics to keep you satisfied until I have more time!

Hailey, all dressed up!

Colin and Molly, having a stare down I think!

Let it snow, let it snow, let snow!

Watching the kids watch the snow is always heartwarming!

Even Molly found a way to see the sights!

So much for a covered patio!

Hey, where did the flower beds go??

Here's to a Winter Wonderland!

Yummy!

Hey, everyone loves a thumbprint cookie!

Merry Christmas!

A Busy Day!

Well, in an attempt to pass the frigid day indoors, we baked our first round of Christmas cookies, played around with the camera, thanks to the help of my friend Allison, and indulged Hailey's love of wearing coats!

The First Tray

MMM, looks good!


Andrew and Hailey attempting to help decorate....

As usual, she's not that interested!

On a side note, they now eat sandwich wedges rather than little pieces!

Hailey, thinkin' she's pretty cool in big sissy's coat!

And now featuring, "The Kid in the Cupboard".

Starring Andrew Q. McCann

The first attempt at a tree picture....

Allison's expertise at adjusting the camera settings!

As you can see, it was a busy day and at the end, I was glad it was over! We'll see what today brings :-)
