Welll...she FINALLY got it...

Friends,

Abby is in the hospital. We admitted her last night and the tests came back positive for RSV or Respiratory Syncytial Virus...or...REALLY STUPID VIRUS! It's not the worst case they have seen but her Blood Saturation Levels are pretty low. It's like this...when we breathe we put oxygen in our blood stream and that level of oxygen is called your blood saturation level. This is usually in the high 90's (97 to 100). When your "blood Sat's" are below 93 or so, it's not a good sign. At urgent care last night Abby's dropped down below 93 and with all the vomiting and the crackling sound in her lungs...we weren't comin'home. Once she was in the Pediatric Ward, her sats went into the 80's and so they gave her some oxygen to breathe and they went back up. The goal here is to get her off the oxygen and her blood sat's to be in the upper 90's on her own...and not with the oxygen. Until that happens we will be in the hospital for the duration.

Eddie has it too, but for a full term baby, it usually isn't as worrisome. That little tank is going to be just fine. And he was GREAT for daddy last night. I'm telling you, God definitely gave him a pep talk before he came to us and said, "now Eddie, you're going to have to be very understanding during your first few years and just go with the flow. You're going to have to be an easy baby that doesn't fuss around and smiles and brings joy to your parents worried faces. Your job is to make them relax when they see you." AND THAT'S WHAT HE DOES. He is so laid back during these things. It's like he knows something serious is going on and not to bother us. He is our new burnin' hunk o love and I do love him very very much.

Okay then. You guys know what to do. Prayer time. Knees and all. The whole 9.

Hit it.

All my love and visions of a white sandy beach.
