What a rough three days!!! Lizzie went to the doctor on Friday with a temperature of 102. She was having a little trouble keeping her sats up, but nothing major. Turns out she has mild pneumonia and a very red throat. The doctor took a throat swab and sent us to the lab to draw blood for a culture. Ya know, why don't kiddos get sick at 2:00 on a Tuesday afternoon instead of the weekend? Anyway, LizBeth was pretty sick with a high fever that would NOT stay down and no interest in eating. She did not want us to hold her or jostle her around. She was just plain pitiful. Last night we took a teeny cake with a candle on it to her bed and sang "Happy Birthday LizBeth" and tied a Princess balloon to her bed. She barely woke up for it. However, this morning the Princess woke up with a huge smile. She raised her arms up for Stacy to pick her up. She laughed at the girls and let me cuddle her for a full 15 minutes. Then she was trying to stand up! Stacy and I are pretty sure that LizBeth wanted us to remember her birth by sending us to the City for two months. Now she wants us to remember her birthday by being scary sick for three days. Please continue to pray that she will continue to get better and better.

By the way, Sarah told me yesterday - "If you have another baby, I will just scream my head off! But if you had a boy, I might smile... a little." Katelyn responded with "Three babies is enough! Four is just too many." Their daddy agreed:)

We have an appointment scheduled January 26th with the Pediatric Surgeon in OKC. He is going to perform a Swallow Study to check the fundoplication. We will have to plan our next course of action after that.

Katelyn is home sick with a sore throat and fever. She said "Well, Sarah should've stayed away from me. She gave this to me!" Her tone was rather accusatory.

Well, many of you have heard about our ER visit last night. LizBeth had a "blue spell" last night around 5:30. We are pretty sure it's due to acid reflux. We have no proof of that yet, but she has other symptoms that support that theory. During her ER stay, LizBeth napped peacefully. She was a little put out when the doctor listened to her lungs and belly, but other than that, she made us look like we were making things up! Today was a great day. We have her back on her pulse ox (O2 % monitor) and she hasn't dropped out of the 90s. Occasionally after a feeding, she will drop to the low 90s, but never any further. We have her on two kinds of meds, Reglan and Zantac. Her feeds have been decreased to two ounces at a time. She can take the two ounces and wait 15 minutes, then we give her two more ounces. We repeat this pattern until she's finished. She doesn't really appreciate this method! We are going to meet with her pediatrician on Monday, and then decide the next course of action. I'm thinking a trip to the City is in our future!

Other than the excitement last night, our house has been pretty normal. My brother and sister arrived home safely. Katelyn and Sarah are ready for school to be out. We have started counting down the days until summer break. (I think it's like 83 days left!) Stacy and I are planning a surprise party for LizBeth after church next Sunday. (Please don't tell Liz. She has no idea.) She will be one year old! Isn't that amazing! God is so good.
