Sick Leecy T

Our sweet Leecy T is in the hospital after being diagnosed with pnuemonia yesterday. She literally gets sick faster than anyone else I know! Saturday night she was fine, Sunday morning she complained of not feeling very well and had a mild cough, by Monday afternoon she was taken by ambulance from our pediatrician's office to the hospital. I had noticed some wheezing and so I took her into the doctor Monday at 2:45pm. After the doctor checked her they administered two rounds of albuterol through breathing treatments and rechecked her vitals. Her oxygen levels were still not good and so they gave her another breathing treatment with a different medication and some steroids, and kept her on oxygen for a good 45 minutes. They tried to wean her off of the O2 and when they did her oxygen levels again dropped dramatically and that is when the ambulance was called. It was a first for both Aleece and I, as I had never been in an ambulance before! Daddy was kind enough to leave his master's class and follow behind the ambulance with Lainey and Lennon. We spent some time in the pediatric ER and Aleece recieved a chest x-ray and they officially diagnosed her with pnuemonia.

Then she got this IV. She was a very big girl and only cried for a second (although we did have it in surround sound, because Lainey and Lennon chimed in when they heard her cry! Sympathetic crying I guess?!)

Beautiful even when sick!!!

Hospitals are a little boring for two year olds......but they can also make just about anything into a "toy"......curtains, doors, rocking chairs, beds, trash cans, you name it! ;)

Daddy and Lennon chillin' in Leecy's hospital room.

Such sweet kids! And the best of friends!!!

Sisters!

Cute little Lainey bug has been so concerned for her big sister! When we were at the doctors office and Leecy T was recieving her treatments, Lainey would say "I need my Leecy T" and she would sit next to Leecy and help hold her oxygen mask for her! It was so cute! She would say "Breathe Leecy!" just like the doctor had!

Aleece is doing much better today than she was yesterday. She had a rough night--from about 12:30 to 3:30 am we had a nurse in our room about every 10 minutes because her oxygen levels were not good. They have been better today and they are currently trying to wean her off of the oxygen. We are hoping for a better night!

She is on steroids, antibiotics, breathing treatments and who knows what else! Kidding! She is being really good throughout all of this!

We are so grateful for a our loving family and friends! Aleece is sending some big thank you's to Granny and Grampy for the adorable puppy, blanket and balloon, and to her aunts and uncles for all of their love and support. We are lucky to have such a great ward family as well and are grateful for the friends who have helped bring food, offered their services and helped give Leecy a blessing! We are very, very grateful to everyone!

We will keep ya'll posted about how she is doing! Thanks for all of the prayers, love and concern! It makes this whole situation much, much easier!
