Hospital

On Thursday afternoon, I (Kristina) took Evelyn to the pediatrician as she had been suffering with congestion, cough, and fever that wouldn't break. The dr. ordered chest x-rays and we went across the hall. While registering, Evelyn suddenly went limp in my arms and her eyes fixated. I knew immediately she was going into a seizure. They rushed us back across the hall to the dr. Luckily, she pulled right out of it and never convulsed. After checking her temp. again, it had spiked 3 degress in less than one minute, which is why she went limp. They gave us Motrin and told us to head immediately to the hospital emergency room. Rob met us there and the dr.'s ordered various tests. Evelyn had RSV and her oxygen levels were not bad, but not good either. They decided to keep us overnight to monitor her oxygen levels. Unfortunately, the levels didn't improve so they put her on oxygen and we stayed for two nights. While there, they did an EEG on Evelyn to check her brain waves. We are still waiting to hear those results--hopefully they will come on Monday. We will post some pics later from our adventure. For now, we are home and grateful that our little one is up and running around the house!

We've been thinking about you guys ~ sending many prayers that Evelyn is better and that you get some answers about what has been going on.
