Sad Pic

Here's a sad picture of Abigial getting worse after she had been getting better...

In the hospital AGAIN!!!

For those of you that follow our blog. Abigail is in the hospital again. We took her to the ER last night and they admitted her into the ICU. It's the same thing as last time, her lungs just aren't strong enough to clear it out so we're back to the confined room.
She's doing pretty good after a 4 hour and then 2 hour long breathing treatment as well as being on oxygen.
That's all for now we'll keep you updated as best as possible.
Merry Freakin Christmas!!

15 months

Abigail is 15 months today and growing so fast. I know 15 months isn't a big one but it is for her. She has learned (this week) to say up and thankyou and she knows how to plug her nose now, which is so cute to see. She's picked up on some new dance moves and she sings with the radio and her cartoons that she watches. We love her so much and feel so blessed to have her. It's sad how fast they grow but exciting at the same time.
Pictures will be posted soon and a dance video of her new moves, I promise.

Quick Update

Sorry for not providing an update sooner. Abigail is fine now. We had another scare last week and had to go back to the emergency room but she was not admitted. They sent us home with a breathing machine and she has to do treatments as needed. She hasn't received one for two days now so I think she's getting better. She may end up with asthma though, which isn't great but also isn't the end of the world. Thank you everyone for your prayers and happy thoughts for us during our time of need.

Hospital drama

Here are some pictures of Abigail at her recent hospital visit (mentioned below in the count your blessings post)
The picture of her hands is to show the size difference. We had a lot of trouble with the IV and this was the second attempt which failed. The IV came out of her vain and was pushing the fluids into her hand tissue. We caught it because I noticed that her fingers were turning purple and examined further to find that her hand was giant. We called it her elephant hand. In this picture the swelling has gone down a great deal already. Sorry for the quality they were taken with my cell phone.

Count your blessings

I am so thankful to everyone who prayed for our sweet Abigail during this trying time and I'm so thankful to my father in heaven for watching over her and for her recovery. For those of you who don't know on Friday evening Abigail started having trouble breathing so Derek and I took her to the ER. The doctor admitted her to the hospital and started treating her for pneumonia which is very scary considering how low her oxygen level got so quickly. (Note to all of you parents out there never hesitate always take them in when it's their breathing) The nurse said Abigail probably would have died that night had we not brought her in, so I'm so grateful that Derek and I listened to the promptings of the spirit this time. She's much better now and has her great personality back. The final diagnosis was viral pneumonia and a possible urinary tract infection (she had an infection somewhere but was already on antibiotics so they aren't 100% sure where it was, not the pneumonia because it was only viral) Either way she's much better and making a speedy recovery.
Thank you again to all who kept us in your prayers, we love you.

Come what may... and love it

I have realized why I don't go to the church book store that often (besides the fact that the one in Elk Grove closed and the only other one in Sacramento is so far away) but it's because I could easily walk out spending $1000 if I let myself. I love the artwork, they have the most amazing and beautiful pictures of Christ and the temple and this really nice one of the sacred grove. All beautiful!!! My most favorite and fitting for my life right now was a sign that read, "Come what may... and love it" I can only imagine the terrible things that the savior went through while on the earth and the great strength that he had to forgive everyone who inflicted them on him. I wish I had his strength and greater faith to love the things that come my way.
