Long time
Its been a long few weeks Ella and Brayden has been really sick. So we have had to cancel all of the PT and dr appts. Brayden was diagnosed with Pneumonia and Ella diagnosed with Respiratory infection, ear infection, dehydration, and sinus infection. We have taken her the last few days up to the hospital to have her nose suctioned out. Yesterday the nurse said we needed to have her admitted. We decided to wait 12 hours to see how she did. Amazing enough after 5 days of no drinking/eating and dry diapers she finally snapped out of it and decided to drink and have a wet diaper. She did great today at the suction booth in SLC Primary Childrens Hospital. We were told she was a 1 which means she is having a hard time breathing but not enough to admit her. She has been sitting next to me on the floor playing with toys... Of course she is still coughing but not as bad. Shes doing a lot better than she has in the last few weeks. I am so proud of her, hopefully we will be able to keep our appointments from her on and be able to get her back on track. Next month we have our 6 month review on her with PT. Which we havent been able to do for a while. She hasnt had a few good days to practice her crawling or anything. So hopefully she will continue to get better and start to be able to do things. Brayden was diagnosed with Pneumonia and bad asthma and has slowly gotten better too. Thank goodness we (Matt, Marian and I) have not caught this bad sickness. We will update as we can, hope everyone is doing better than us. Love to all!
