Today Mark and I had to take Natalie and Victoria back to their doctor for follow-up visits. They have both been sick for several weeks and have seemed to get worse lately.
Victoria has been on breathing treatments three-times-a-day for a week now. I haven’t seen a lot of improvement, but the doctor insists that she has a virus and that we need to continue her treatments for a while longer. Hopefully, in the next week she will be sounding and looking much better. Even though she is sick, she still looks as cute as ever!
Poor Natalie sounded especially terrible today. Last week we were told she had some wheezing in her chest and at that time she was put on antibiotics. The antibiotics did not seemed to help at all. In fact, her condition seemed to deteriorate over the past few days. So, today we hauled her back to the doctor to be told that it sounded like she had pneumonia. After her doctor visit, we all took a trec over to the closest hospital for Natalie to have her chest x-rayed. Sure enough, she has pneumonia! However, it is in the early stages and she will not have to be hospitalized. How thankful we felt to have caught this before it got too bad! Don’t get me wrong, she sounds bad enough to me to be hospitalized. This morning, sitting still, she sounded like she had been running a marathon! She had very labored breathing, so I knew it was possible that she had pneumonia. We are so thankful for her doctor, Faye Roberts, who was so thorough in her exam. Dr. Faye is awesome! She put Natalie on much stronger antibiotics and we hope to see some huge improvements in her condition this week.
We will be praying for a quick recovery. I hate to see the little ones sick. I am so sorry that your Thanksgiving plans had to change.
Can we bring you a plate?
Robert and Jennifer
I think I’ll be fine with my Hungry Man turkey and dressing! Actually, it’s one of my favorites so I know I’ll enjoy it! Thanks though!
Hope your day went well! Glad Natalie won’t have to be hospitalized! Happy Thanksgiving, dear friend!!!
I stayed in my P.J.s all day and so did the other two girls in the house! I put up all of my Christmas decorations, which took all day! It was a busy day, but at a much slower pace than usual!
