She's Back...

...to her happy self!!! Brooklyn is doing much better these days. She has been sleeping great, her appetite has returned and she is back to beating up on her big brother! She went to the doctor on Monday and they sent us home with a nebulizer to help her breathing and keep her oxygen levels up. We went to the ENT yesterday and she will be getting tubes in her ears on May 15th. That's all for now!

Sick Girl

My poor baby girl has been sick ALL week! She started running fever Sunday night so I took her to the doctor on Monday. I feel like I'm at the doctor every other week! Not to my surprise she had another ear infection. She has had 2 double and 1 single ear infection since Feb. 4th. Dr. Clarke gave her another antibiotic. Unfortunately on Thursday she was still pulling on her ear, running fever, barely sleeping or eating...not like my B girl at all! Gigi and I took her back to the doctor to find out she still had her ear infection and her oxygen levels were low. They gave her a breathing treatment with no relief for Brooklyn. They suggested we take her to Texas Children's Hospital. At this point I was freaking out but had to pull it together for Miss B. Without going into all the details of poking and proding at my baby, she was admitted for Bronchiolitis. She was kept on oxygen and an IV for feeds and medications. Almost 24 hrs later they took her off oxygen and monitored her for a few more hours. Her levels were right where they needed to be so we were able to be released. We are very happy to be back home and glad that Brooklyn is finally on the road to recovery!

San Antonio

Devon and I had a GREAT weekend with Judy, Jodi and Brianna. We all drove to San Antonio early Saturday morning to watch Bri sing at Sea World. Followed by the kids swimming at the hotel pool, dinner on the river walk and the kids going to the IMAX. Sunday we took a river boat tour, went to the Alamo, the market and last but not least the Wildlife Safari. Jodi took over 300 pictures of our busy weekend. Until I get copies of her pix (the better ones) a few of mine will have to do!
