A lil' bump

As a nurse taking care of kids in similar situations as Alex, I often tell parents that the healing process is typically not a straight road, and more like a rocky road with bumps and ups and downs.  Alex has hit a little bump in her recovery and is spiking fevers again.  We are holding off on her high flow oxygen trials this morning and letting her rest and working on getting rid of the fever.

She's been in good spirits and was up in her wheel chair a couple of times yesterday.  She even crashed my little corner space in her room last night and wanted mommy to hold her.  All the nurses, doctors and respiratory therapists love her and say how sweet she is.  She says please and thank you and asks, "what's your name" when anyone comes into her room.  She truly has the sweetest little soul.
