We got to bring Evelyn home this morning! They discharged her about 11:30 and we had her home by noon. She's still congested, but breathing much easier. We'll be giving her breathing treatments and antibiotics for the next few days, but other than that it's life as normal. It will be a couple of weeks before she's 100%, but this is a good start.
Thanks to everyone for all the extra prayers this week!

Sick Little Evelyn
Remember Evelyn's sinus infection/ear infection/pink eye combo from the last post? That has now turned into pneumonia and a double ear infection. Needless to say, she was admitted to Rex Hospital yesterday where we will be hanging out for the next couple of days.
The new antibiotics (rocephin) and the oxygen are helping quite a bit. We've seen a big improvement from yesterday and she's starting to get back to her old self. Hopefully we'll just have to spend one more night here, but we'll just have to wait and see what the doctor thinks in the morning. We'll keep you posted!

What a Week!
The last 7 days have really been a rollercoaster ride. We started off last Saturday (May 1) celebrating with Jason's family as Scott and LeAnne were married! We spent Sunday hanging out with Mark and Ashley, who came up to help out with the girls during all of the wedding activity. A wonderful weekend with great family!
Then came Monday morning when Evelyn was diagnosed with a sinus infection, ear infection, and pink eye, all from a cold gone bad. Then Wednesday afternoon Jessica spiked a fever of 104.2, promting a trip to the doctor for a double ear infection.
Both girls were put on Omnicef. (If you ever had a child on Omnicef, you'll understand this next part!) Then came the poops...bright orangey-red, rust colored ones. Wow! Along with off and on fevers the rest of the week. And, of course, they're both teething on top of everything.
The good news is that both girls are feeling much better today. They're still a little tired, but eating better and playing harder.
A happy Jessica.
It's nice to have our sweet Evie back!
Jessica's new favorite thing...feet! Mom's, Dad's, Evelyn's, anybody else who happens to be passing by.
