one step forward, two steps back

Ryan misses her big sister


This virus is still taking Alex down and our hopes of discharge today quickly faded this morning when she woke up sounding like a washing machine. She is still having a hard time managing her secretions and airway so until she can show the docs she is making some improvements she is stuck here.

The highlight of the day was during rounding when about ten doctors crowded in around her bed and she said, " I want it please, I want it please." When I asked what she wanted and she had the attention of everyone in the room she said, "hold the iPad." The Attending had an iPad she was using and everyone thought that was so funny she knew what it was. Who says a three year old can't advertise for Apple?

Ah poor Alex. Sorry to hear about the hard time. Praying for her and for you guys to be able to return to your normal lives soon.

Jesus have mercy,

So glad she got to enjoy some Halloween dress-up. The picture of the two little girls on the hospital bed is heartbreakingly sweet...

Hope mommy and daddy are hanging in there as well.
