Sick Baby Update!

I am sad to report that Friday Lacey was even more miserable, so we took her back into the doctor and he was really worried about her oxygen level and also found a double ear infection!! I can't really believe babies change that drastically in two days, but whatever. Anyway, so he admitted her to the hospital right away. I was there for 24 hours, then Micah spelled me off today and now my mom came up (Can you believe she came all the way up from Cache Valley again? Thanks mom!!) to sit with her tonight so that we could go to stake conference and have a little time away.

It is really hard to be there so much because she is feeling so crummy. Very lathargic, very dehydrated, and very limp. (pictures to come) They were saying that she had RSV and treating her for that, giving her liquids through an I.V. and other meds and then this morning they did an x-ray only to find pnemonia! WHAT???!!!?! That's all we need. Anyway, she is on oxygen through her nose AND a mask and they are still having trouble keeping her oxygen up where it needs to be. Needless to say, it has been 2 days with very little improvement! It looks like we will be there a few more days. Please, if you could, pray for her. This is a lot for her little body to take. Thanks for all the love and support from the meals to the calls! We have great friends and neighbors!
