Our little stay at the hospital

So I spent some time thinking about whether to include pics of our recent hospital stay....it was a scary time. But it was something that we as a family struggled and got through together...something that made us stronger and realize how blessed we are. Just a few shots from the last week - we are home now and everyone seems to be doing much better.

One of our first nights in the hospital...note the scary crib/cage that they offered us to use for Ciara. I couldn't put her in that....she slept on mommy or daddy's tummy when she was between fevers.


The sign on her hospital door....I took her in at 1am with a 105.3 fever, febrile seizures and a very scared mommy.








Every few hours she would feel ok enough for go for a little "stroll" in the red wagon. Here we are headed down to xray for a chest xray to rule out bacterial pneumonia.







Some shots (late at night:) when we circled the pediatric floor many, many times...it was her "treat" and she waved and smiled at all the nurses.









You can see in this shot how sweaty she got from her fevers. So pitiful looking;)















Finally, after 4 long days we were able to come home (with some strong antibiotics). She looks so happy to be home...that hospital was not fun! Thanks to everyone for your prayers - God was watching over us!
