Tis the Season

For everyone to be sick!!!

Well not everyone, just me and Maggie, so lame.

I think we are finally on the up and the reason there is a post. Being sick really puts a damper on posting and kind of the last thing I wanted to do. Not to mention the fact that there have been very little picture taking going on. Hopefully these next few weeks that can change. 

Thanks for all your concern and loves! 

It felt like a big process to finally get Maggie's cold under control or at least know exactly what it was that we were dealing with. In medical world she had caught the Rhinovirus, the basic cold. But as we say, basic colds are not so basic when you can't cough yourself or handle those extra secretions. We thought we were handling it well, but like most colds it moved into her chest overnight and caused her to have pneumonia and her left lung to basically collapse. During this transition, I hopped on board the sick train and came down with something different, the stomach flu. So luckily Whit took care of his sick girls and so far still healthy...knock on wood!

A couple visits to the x-ray machine, a shot of rocephin at the pediatricians, a strong dose of augmentin, nebulizer treatments every 4-6 hours, cough assist treatments every 4 hours night and day, bi-pap mask 23 hours a day, and 2 weeks later....

we managed to stay out of the hospital and pretty sure we've popped that lung back open. 

Grammie brought some Christmas cheer by sending the Elf on the Shelf our way.

 She had to go to sleep with her lipstick in hand. She must be feeling better!
