Oooh baby, It's cold in here!

Proof that it actually does get cold over here. :-)

We're Home!

We're home. They let us go about 4 p.m. today. They sent us home with a breathing treatment machine and a bunch of medicine. I had to sit down and map out the medication/breathing treatment schedule for the next few days.

4 a.m. Breathing Treatment with medicine #1
7 a.m. antibiotic #1
8 a.m. breathing treatment - medicine #2
10 a.m. breathing treatment - medicine #1
1 p.m. antibiotic #2
4 p.m. breathing treatment - medicine #1
7 p.m. antibiotic #1
8 p.m. breathing treatment - medicine #2
10 p.m. breathing treatment - medicine #1

I'm not sure if they know exactly what was wrong with her. The discharge papers had both the words pneumonia and asthma written on it. Hopefully, her chest congestion and cough will clear up after a few days. We go back to the doctor on Thursday to check out her breathing levels and probably do another chest x-ray. Her breathing levels were good when we were leaving the hospital today so she is definitely improving. Thanks for all of your prayers! I'll keep you posted.

Prayers Needed

Please pray for Lil N. She has been at the hospital since Saturday. She woke up Saturday with a horrible sounding cough and labored breathing. We took her to the doctor, and they admitted her to the hospital immediately. She is responding to the treatment but her breathing levels are still not where they should be. The doctor has mentioned a few different things that could be going on. We are trying to remain positive and are hoping for a diagnosis of a bacterial or viral lung infection or even asthma. We'll keep you posted. Please pray for her.

Merry Christmas!

Doha Alarm Option

What's your choice for an alarm sound? Buzzer? Music? How about caterpillar jackhammer?




This is right outside our bedroom window. And like clock-work, it's reliable.....10 minutes to 7 a.m. EVERYDAY!

On the bright side, we no longer have the little trucks back there screeching their tires. :-) I guess the big hole and road barriers have scared them off.

Update

The girls are doing better. I ended up taking them to the doctor on Sunday. That was a lovely 4 hour experience. So many sick kids in the waiting area...

Anyway, Lil N has bronchitis and an ear infection, and Lil H has a cold and an ear infection. Both are on antibiotics and are starting to show some improvement. Their cough still sounds bad though. Hopefully it will be cleared up enough for them to go to school on Thursday. It will have been a whole week since they've been. They are missing it so much.

Thanks for your prayers.

A little prayer

Will you say a little prayer for Lil N and Lil H? During the marathon blog I've been doing, I've been listening to them downstairs just cough and cough. They've had a cold for about a week now, and their cough is really sounding bad today. They haven't had any fever so I think it's just a common cold that has to run its course. But they want to get back to school, and I need to get back to work this week as our office has a Friday deadline. So if you don't mind, please say a quick, little prayer that God will heal them and get rid of their cold and cough. Thanks.
