we're home now

i took harmony to the ER this morning at Primary Children's Hospital. she's got RSV, all the kids do, but she's the sickest. she had only nursed 2 times in 24 hours and i was really getting worried. they were happy to announce that she wasn't in bad enough shape to admit her so they suctioned her out and gave her an IV.
i cried the whole way up to the hospital, but once i got there felt completely relieved. Primary's gets 10 golden stars from me!!! they are the NICEST nurses and docs i have ever seen! they act like they actually like their jobs; like it's a priviledge to serve. i'm so grateful that we live so close to such an amazing hospital. we've never had to use it for our own kids until today. so now we'll just watch her closely, making sure she eats, and give her lots of kiss and hug therapy. it makes me so sad to hear her weak, cough-ridden cry; she's like a little bird.

Ohh, Jenica! I'm so sorry! I'm sorry for Harmony, and for the other kiddos, and for you. I know RSV stinks, the kids had it last year (noah was about Harmony's age). It was a real stinker. Prayers and hugs!

Oh no!!! Both my kids have been sick and coughing and Mia just seems to be getting worse ... I think it's time to take her into the doc if RSV is going around.

oh no...i hope your little one is doing better...it's always so scary when they get so sick...

I'm sorry I didn't read this sooner so you could have felt my virtual love to you, gorgeous H and all your kids. I trust all is better now.
