Hospital

We are headed to the hospital, just waiting for the call. Billy Boy saw the Pulmonologist today and he didn't like the way he sounded. He is ordering a sleep study, xrays to determine if he has a partial collapsed lung or pneumonia, and an ABG (arterial blood gas test.) He also wondered if he might have a collapsed airway, but I didn't want to even think about that. I'm hoping we get some answers and he gets some relief soon!

Prayers, prayers, prayers

I haven't had a chance to wish everyone a happy, healthy 2011!!! We had a great Christmas and a nice and quiet New Year. This time of year is all about the kids and family, we all had a great time. Monet enjoyed herself tremendously and Billy Boy stayed healthy. We couldn't of asked for a better Christmas under the circumstances.

So far 2011 has been a trying year for us. Billy Boy stayed healthy through Christmas, but a couple of weeks into January, he got a lung infection and has been fighting it ever since. It has been a time of high anxiety, stress, and very little sleep. His oxygen saturations have dropped into the 70's and he is now on continuous oxygen. It's been a real battle and unlike normal kids, it's been a real fight for his life.

Billy and I have tried to maintain our sanity by exercising and napping whenever possible. We are also alternating times to be with Monet, our saving grace. Thankfully, God continues to give us strength beyond our own capacity, blessed are we!!!
