For those of you who have come into our life since then. Audrey was admitted into Children's on Dec 19th (her 2 month birthday) with a 103 fever and a white cell count of over 20,000. With in 48 hours she was went into respitority distress and was rushed into PICU where she was sedated and put on life support for 10 days. She was dianosed with RSV, which was very uncommon for a healthy full term baby to become as sick as she did, most extreme RSV cases like her's were results of preterm births, the drs called her the sickest RSV healthy baby they had seen. She fought with all she had and we got to bring her home on News Years Day 07.
I am forever greatful to have her home however more so around the holidays. Even if her fighting demenior drives me crazy sometimes LOL!!
This year has been really hard on Doug and I without Priscilla around, I know she is watching over us but I would much rather have her here with us. I hoping spending Christmas at the cabin this year with help lift and brighten our spirits this year.

The holidays are so tough when someone special is missing from your life. Last year was my first Christmas without my dad. It was very hard. I will definately be thinking of you and your husband this week.
ReplyDeletePICU and NICU experiences are just horrible. Something no baby or mother should ever have to endure. I am so glad that your sweet Audrey is healthy now.
