Pics from Hospital

Here are some pics that Daddy took on his cell phone during our sleepover at the hospital last week. After this experience, we think Evelyn may go into the medical field--ha ha!

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!

Time Has Flown By

Hard to believe that we haven't posted since December. So much has been happening with Evelyn lately that keeping up with the blog has not been on the forefront of our minds. Evelyn attended a farewell party for our neighbor who is going off to college this semester. She had a blast at the skating rink! Looks like someone will be getting her first set of roller skates for her birthday next month! We have seen a neurologist (who Mommy is not very fond of right now) and we will be having some tests on the 23rd of January. Since meeting with the neurologist, Evelyn has been to a birthday party for our friend, Avery, to celebrate her 2nd birthday. It was a fun time! As of late, we have battled a stomach bug and fever. We are praying that this all subsides before the tests on the 23rd or we will have to reschedule. We ask that everyone pray for her on the 23rd--it will be a long and difficult morning for our little sunshine.
