Oh boy......103 fever last night, coughing non stop....every 2-3 hour albuterol treatments, in the midst of a huge snowstorm...so we would have had a hard time driving to town last night, but we are taking her in today. My 11 ds, who was sick, ended up with pneumonia, I am thinking Lily is heading that way, too. I am so worried about her, she hurts so bad when she coughs....poor baby, she is pitiful.
I have slept about 5 hours total the last two nights, please pray I don’t get sick as well, I am the last one standing. To add to the chaos, my mom is coming in town this Friday, and my sweet 8 yo is making his First Holy Communion this Sunday. I am so bummed that my dh will probably have to stay home with Lily and 11 yo. God’s Will be done.
Thanks, Friends.....I’ll try to keep updated today.

Prayers for little Lidy and the whole family. Maybe it is RSV??? It is really going around and can turn into pneumonia too. Will definately pray!

HI Ladies,
Just got back from the doc, Lily is getting another treatment, while she watches a “Curious George” DVD. What would we do without DVD’s??? The good news is that her lungs sound good.....she is still in some distress, coughing a ton, still has a temp....so given that her big brother has pneumonia, and I might add, after two doses of zithromax, is starting to feel better, finally!  the doc gave Lily the same antibiotic. She kept apologizing, saying she wasn’t practicing “evidenced” based medicine, I told her I am okay with “intuitive” based medicine! I think she might still need steroids, but we wanted to give the z-pack a chance, and see what she does. I am praying the coughing slows down soon, she is worn out......
I don’t think it is RSV...we talked about that....the doc said to keep her out of the ER and hospital, it is packed with one of the worst RSV seasons she has seen in years.....but we both agree this probably isn’t RSV....she isn’t snotty enough  , usually kids with RSV have mucous everywhere....and their lungs sound worse. BUT.....she said not to take Lily anywhere in the weeks to come, until RSV calms down.
Okay, I am off to pick up my day.....I am so, so appreciative of your prayers! I am hoping Lily turns around in the next 24 hours.

Please, please keep praying......Lily is very close to being in the hospital. I took her in to the see the doc again today....she is now quite a bit of dark blood coming out of her g-tube because she is coughing so much, and the motrin (not giving now) and antibiotic.....we started a new medicine for her stomach. Lily’s breathing hasn’t been below 40-50 a minute for three days.....I am so worried she is going to wear down.....her oxygen levels have stayed really good, but today they are hedging down into the lower 90’s.....something the doc was worried about. Basically, she has something like croup, (bronchiolitis), and her airway is so irritated by coughing, and having an artificial airway...it is a vicious cycle. Lily hasn’t said anything in the last few days, she is working so hard to breath..... I am beside myself. My dh stayed home today.....we are just waiting and waiting for her to turn the corner. They did give her a steroid shot in the office, because she can’t take the oral right now, given how bad her stomach is at the moment.
I am exhausted....and so worried....
I’ll update later.
Thanks!

Hang in there!!
I'm offering a Memorare right now for Lily! I'm going to start a little mini Novena for an urgent need to the Infant Jesus of Prague for Lily. I'll offer the prayer once every hour for the next 9 hours. Please pray that my guardian angel prompts me to remember!

This sounds so much like what my little boys had in December. It was terrifying, and all my kids have natural airways; I can't imagine what it must be like for Lily. One of my twins almost ended up in the ER twice, and his throat was so red, raw, and swollen, they tested him for mono when the strep test came back negative. He finally ended up on steroids, which helped immensely.
I'll be praying hard for Lily (and for you)!!!
