Hi All,

Waiting for pulmonary and peds to call back...probably headed to the hospital for a chest x-ray, they thought yesterday she might be getting pneumonia, and if she wasn't better today, they were seeing her again, and deciding what to do....and my next little ds is down for the count with the same respiratory virus, feverish on the couch...

Lily is breathing pretty hard, requiring a lot of aerosol treaments...up for the last three nights....and it is her FIRST birthday. I am trying not to cry that this isn't quite the first princess birthday I had envisioned....thy Will be done....

Pray for a speedy recovery, thanks!

Update--Thanks so much for your prayers....Lily is improving...she is on pretty high doses of steroids, and now on antibiotics. We did get the xray, just beginnings of pneumonia, didn't need to be in the hospital (thank God!!), and she looks better this morning. I think the worst is over, now just lots of staying at home to keep her away from others...our usual cave time is beginning early this year She cried and was fussy with present opening last night, so we backed off....and this morning she is playing with her toys and talking...color looks much better.    The stinker keeps signing "Daddy"....hey, who sweats blood for you baby?!?! MAMA She knows how to sign Mama, too, but does Daddy pretty readily. Too cute, girls know how to wrap those guys up early!!!
Thanks so much for your concern and prayers....I love this group!!!

An ugly resp. virus is going around our neck of the woods too.

Praying she'll be better soon. She is still your little princess and you can celebrate her princess birthday whenever you want.

Oh dear little Lily! I am just SO sad that your darling girl is having such a rough time...may there be an abundance of graces for you all for every little suffering that has come your way.

Praying that Lily does not have pneumonia and that she and her brother recover really quickly!

Big birthday hugs to your little princess!

I am so sorry that she is so sick. I pray you all get a respite soon. Go ahead and have a good cry, Momma. It has been a hard year. Praying for many HAPPY returns of the day!!!

Oh, poor little girl. I'll remember her tonight when I'm up doing my own wheezing... and tomorrow when my little guy turns one (has it really been a year for them both???)

And of course she'll still be a princess, party or no . I'm so happy to hear that she has made it to ONE!!!

I'm so sorry about Lily. I will be praying for her and for you too. I am asking our Blessed Mother to wrap your precious baby girl in her mantle for protection.
Our Lady, Health of the Sick, pray for Lily!

My prayers continue for Lily and your whole family and I'm so glad that she is on the mend.

Well, at least she is signing, "Daddy." One of my children, who shall go unnamed, decided that his/her first word/person named would be, "Bob", my mother's cat! (I'm still not over it .)

Love,

Dear Diana,
Just seeing this post, I'm sorry I missed the beginning of your troubles with little Lily but be assured of our family's prayers for you all and big birthday prayers for Lily. I hope they both keep improving and get back to their normal selves very soon.
God Bless
Love Chemai
