Goodbye Ear Infections!

Today Addison had her tubes put in. We took some pictures before the surgery. She was so cute in her hospital gown and was so good even though she was hungry. Afterwards was a different story. She had a rough time waking up but is feeling fine now! Thanks for all of the prayers, calls, and encouragement.

Never a Dull Moment...

Our poor baby had her second and third ER visit over the weekend. She had a mild cough Sat night and by early Sunday morning she was weezing and had labored breathing. So once again we made our way to the St Francis emergency room. After two HOUR long breathing treatments, stereoids, chest x-rays, tons of tests, another double ear infection and 8 hours of fun...we were discharged, only to get prescriptions filled and mom got to take a shower and then back we went. After two more hours, in the hallway with a styrofoam cup that had oxygen hoses taped to it, Addison was admitted to the Children's hospital with bronchiolitis (I had never heard of it before). We stayed overnight and she was released on Monday afternoon. They were wonderful! Addison actually loved the huge metal crib and liked the doctors and nurses too. We will be going to the ENT for tubes soon.

She was such a good happy baby, despite how sick she was. Here are a couple of pictures with her nebulizer, which she now reaches for with a smile.



Addison loves to lean into the mask and squish her face. It makes me laugh...she is so silly...
