May 15, 2010 I will be supporting two of my Heroes in my life! My husband Brennen's life was impacted my a Brain Tumor in 1997. Having had a brain injury as made an impact on my life. I am grateful that things have worked out, that we have been able to married for 11 1/2 years and have 2 beautiful daughters. He is my best friend and I love him tons, and admire the adversities he's had to endure. Another hero of mine is Charlie Cooper. Charile was born 2 1/2 years ago as a normal healthy boy! At the age of 8 months he came down with Spinal Meningitis. This has changed this guys life forever. He has changed many peoples lives for the better as well.

RSV UPDATE ON KAIT

I couldn't have made it through today with out the help of family and Medical professionals. I love my family all so much! Thanks, for all of you that have checked up on sweet baby Kait. I never imagined RSV to be this bad. We aren't even admitted to the hospital and this little bug is so.. sick. After going through this you want your kids to live in a bubble! I took her back to the Dr. today. She not only has RSV she also has an ear infection in her left ear. Around lunch time today she seemed to take a small turn of events. We took her up and the Dr. said she is looking better then the other day! I don't see it as the MOM? Her stats were 85, but she was hydrated and things, so she is home barking like a dog with her cough. We tool her G- tube (Feeding tube) out a month tomorrow. All has been healing well until now. She has been coughing, so hard that she has opened the wound up again from coughing. They said at the Dr's at PMCH to start the healing process again. Kids that get really sick after, this sometimes happens. She has been a real trooper through it all. I had Bridgette from CNS Pharmacy come tonight and help me dress her wound, so it can heal quickly. Grandma Wosnik came and spent the afternoon with us. I told Kaitrynn that Grandma was going to bring her a present? Kaitrynn looked at me and said MELMO? (ELMO). I said no! She brought her a really cute dress! When Grandma got here she told Grandma that Melmo would make her feel better. Of course Grandma's do the magic right? Grandma went out and got her this Melmo Medical Kit. The rest is history as you can see. She loved it she even fell asleep with it!. Let's hope she gets a better night sleep tonight for us all!

RSV RSV RSV SO SAD

My baby Kate has come down with the dreadful RSV virus. There is nothing that they can do for her. She just has to wade it out. Poor thing she is just miserable. You shed the RSV virus a few days before you get the fever. We were at our friends house the day before her 4 year old Kate came down with a 105 degree fever. I haven't seen her this sick since she was in the hospital at 4 weeks with the group B Strep! I am keeping her hydrated and alternating the Tylenol and Ibuprofen every 4 hours! Wish her well for a speedy recovery!
