Alex is hanging in there today, fighting off this new bug. Labs came back this afternoon and turns out she tested negative for the ParaFlu which means she fully recovered from that. Bad news is she did catch another viral infection. We are not sure exactly which one she has now since it wasn't detectable but it must be whatever happens to be going around.
At one point today I suspected swine flu. She was snorting more than normal but a little suctioning cleared it up and eased my mind. Bad joke, but seriously the ER was full of kids with masks on yesterday who just had a fever or cough and parents paranoid by the media.
Now we just wait for things to improve. We pray that there is not an underlying problem or something that the docs haven't detected that is causing these infections. It's tough because they want her to fully recover from these viruses before they can do further studies but we can't seem to get her healthy long enough for this to happen. We really hope this is the last infection of the season.
On a brighter note, it was a beautiful day in Denver. We are staying on the 8th floor and we have a nice view that lets plenty of sunshine into the room. Guess it's supposed to be rainy and cloudy this weekend so maybe it won't be so bad being indoors.
We send our love to everyone :)

We are sorry to hear that you are all back out the hospital. As always, we'll continue to pray for little Alex and hope these situations are only temporary.

Do you all get hospital miles that can be turned in for something fun? Will Princess Hope soon be immune to every virus known to man since she has had so many of them? There is such a thing as the extraordinarniness of the ordinary. I know that you both can relate to that although you have had little opportunity lately. We are praying for some ordinary time for the Diffees. Blessings, Nancy and Richard
