November started out decent....Jays Birthday, then visit from his parents, Jay got pneumonia and was pretty sick when his parents were here, but fought through it . Then we had A great Thanksgiving with family and friends. Then Danielle did a little black Friday Christmas shopping as per tradition. The weekend after Thanksgiving was Danielle's turn to get sick, eventually bronchitis etc then Makenna got a mild version, then baby girl got it the worse of all of us :(. We were sent to the ER on a Sunday fro a stubborn 104.8 fever, chest x-ray was clear and after some more Tylenol and monitoring they sent us home keeping in touch with the pediatrician, two days later we were in the Dr. office for persistent fever, worse cough, audible wheezing. She was started on nebulizer treatments. Two days later I thought she sounded no better and brought her back in. Sure enough the Dr. thought she sounded bad too, tried two back to back treatments in the office along with a steroid shot before sending us to the ER for monitoring, etc. After a "miracle" treatment of "el-epi" she was resting peacefully and breathing quieter/easier....after a few more hours of monitoring we were allowed to come home, with increased breathing treatments at home. She was eventually put on oral and inhaled steroids to help her get over it and hopefully prevent further respiratory issues this winter. Thankfully she is sounding a million times better and requires less breathing treatments now, but will be on the inhaled steroid for an undetermined time period.
We are getting ready for Christmas slowly but surely now that we are all pretty healthy!
We are excited to celebrate Baby K's first Christmas with her. I hope you are all doing well too! Enjoy some Santa pictures from a party today. I have a few more to post when I have more time. Merry Christmas Friends and Family. Please keep praying for baby K and her future, biological parents and social workers, judge etc. We are! Nothing new to note with her case.
