Maddy's Hospital Experience

Madisyn was admitted to the hospital on Monday. She was diagnosed with a severe case of pneumonia. She had a bad cough for about a week, but no other symptoms so I didn't really think anything of it. Then on Thursday she started getting a really high fever. So we fought that for 3 days then on Saturday it finally broke and I thought it was over. Well, about 1:00 Sunday morning she woke me up coughing really hard and her fever was back. So Monday morning I took her to the doctor and they found the pneumonia and admitted her. She was released yesterday. She wanted to come home so bad. The hospital really isn't fun. Last night she was complaining, that it hurt to breath. So I ran her back to the doctor and they did some more x-rays and they couldn't see that it showed signs of it getting worse. So they sent us home. The pain did go away quickly but she had a couple more episodes last night. She is feeling better today but we will see. And on top of all of this Caleb is gone for 2 weeks for Annual Army Training, so he couldn't just leave and come home, so I had to deal with all of this myself. I am thankful that she is feeling better and that we caught it in time. I know 2 people who have died of penumonia within the past 2 years. It is a scary thing. I wish I would have remembered my camera because she was the cutest patient, but it was the last thing on my mind. I am so thankful for my family and friends who stepped in to help me.

My friend Jamie took some pictures of Hailee yesterday. It was so fun. She does such a good job. These were suppose to be Hailee's 1 year pictures. Now she is 16 months and I am finally getting around to get them done.


Baby Blue Eyes!

I never win anything.

I am one of those people who never win anything, but I see my luck starting to changing. A couple of weeks ago, Caleb and I were in Boise at the mall and they were having a drawing for a new mustang so both thought what the heck. We both filled out a entry form and today I got a message on my phone saying that I had a won a free trip to vegas with airfare and hotel included from that drawing. Now this is not my dream vacation but I will take it. Funny thing is the guy said that they always draw 2 names just incase the first one doesn't want to take it. Well my name was drawn first and Caleb's was drawn second. I guess we were just meant to take a short vacation :) Now I am hoping to win the mustang and the HGTV Dream Home!!!
