December

    Well here is an update on our family. Last Friday night McKay and I went on a date to the movies and left the girls at his parent's house to watch. Zoey had a cough since Wednesday or Thursday and so we have just been watching her. She had been fine all Friday but after McKay and I got back from our movie we went back to pick up the girls and his parents informed us that Zoey was struggling to breath and was turning white so they suggested bringing her to the Emergency room. They also told us that Andrea had now developed a cough as well.
    So we took the girls to the ER and they got checked out. They took chest X-rays and such and said there was no fluid in their lungs so that was good news. They said it didn't look like rsv so that was also good news. They just told us it was an upper respiratory infection and to get a follow up appointment with our pediatrician the next day. So Saturday morning we called the Dr. and made an appointment and got the girls in. The Dr. gave us Albuterol and a nebulizer so that we could give the girls breathing treatments if need be. We did end up using it twice on Zoey that day. She was incredibly lifeless on Saturday and had us pretty scared most of the day. Her color was pretty bad most of the day. We were able to get a humidifier that same day and after we got that running it seemed to really help and Zoey improved a lot after having that on and having a 2nd breathing treatment. Andrea never got as bad as Zoey but we continue to watch the both of them every day. They got their shots this week and so they were running a fever on Monday night after their appointment. I went and got some Tylenol for them and that helped break their fevers. They both still have a cough and they have been struggling to keep their milk down but overall they are doing much much better. Thank you to everyone who has offered a prayer on our girls behalf. We really appreciate and feel of your love and support.

  Here are some pics from this month. Enjoy!

 McKay's Grandma Connie gave McKay's mom some money to get us a wreath and McKay's mom helped us pick everything out at Porters and she and I decorated it. Mostly Tracie decorated it. We love it!
 Andrea slid a little too close to the couch. haha
