My cousin Kelsey was in town for a few days. She had to put up with crabby girls who were recovering from the hospital or who were congested. We had a lot of fun in the backyard. The pool was too cold so we set up the little pool and used the hose to make a waterslide. Addie and Auntie Carrie can over all day too. Taylor Mae was a party pooper and just wanted to sleep most of the day away. Josh made us all delicious quesadillas with all the sides for lunch and there may have been a sangria or two. We had so much fun with all our visitors. I just love spending time with my cousins and wish I could see them more often. We love you girls!
After our naps, we all headed over to Gma & Gpa Thie’s house for some delicious ham dinner. The girls got Easter baskets and had an egg hunt out back. We played hard until it was dark and time to go home. Kayleigh did great, but definitely needed her breathing treatment at the end of the day. We hope everyone had a wonderful Easter!
After a delicious brunch at Jared & Carrie’s we headed out to Rawhide for an egg hunt and a visit with the Bunny. Kayleigh just wanted the candy in the eggs, Taylor wanted to put every egg into her basket, and Addie just wanted to eat the whole egg! Taylor liked the Bunny from a far, but would rather not sit on his lap! They it was back to Addie’s house for some much needed naps. Most of that hard candy disappeared at naptime, sorry girls!
Easter morning we spent at home before Daddy had to go to work. The girls found their Easter baskets. They were loaded with new bike helmets, that were designed by myself and Kelsey. We super glued sequins all over with their names on the side. They also got new movies, pajamas, microphones, and drawing boards. I know…no candy, but that’s what grandparents are for. Daddy was off to work and the girls and I got all dolled up for our day. We went to visit Daddy at work before the egg hunt.
We colored Easter eggs tonight! Taylor was not so into it at first and just wanted to play with her Papa! My cousin Kelsey was in town for a few days. The girls love her and we always have fun with her. Taylor was a bit congested and tired and not totally herself and Kaykay was still recovering from her hospitalization, so they weren’t exactly 100% but we still had fun.
We got our Easter package in the mail today from Great Gma Lou. So many goodies we did not even know where to start. There were movies, books, clothes, bathing suits, snacks, cookies and candy. Taylor was pretty impressed with the bubble wrap! We can’t wait to see her in a few weeks!
My sweet girl spent some time in the hospital. On Friday night I noticed she had a little dry cough. Saturday we went to the baseball game where she literally rolled in the grass. That night she was really coughing a lot. Sunday morning it was even worse. She could barely finish a sentence without coughing and she was starting to act really tired. I was putting her down for her afternoon nap, went to rub her stomach and noticed she was really trying hard to breath and was retracting. I did not hear wheezing but I definitely did not like watching her. So Jared and Carrie came over to watch Taylor and Josh and I were off to Banner Cardon’s Children’s ER. They put us in a room right away and started breathing treatments. She wasn’t wheezing because she wasn’t moving enough air. She soon had an IV, Oxygen nasal prongs, cont. pulse ox, and EKG leads. She got a dose of IV Magnesium and then we started IV steriods. We were in the ER for a few hours and about 5 breathing treatments with little improvement, so we were admitted. We had every 2 hour breathing treatments and continuous oxygen for the first 24+ hours, then slowly weaned from oxygen and spaced the treatments to every 4 hours. We were there two nights and three days. She wouldn’t eat anything and only drank maybe half of a chocolate milk. We went home with every 4 hour breathing treatments and oral steroids. Kaykay did amazing and we are so proud of her. She was exhausted and moody, but was overall very good. I was rarely allowed out of her bed and she was pretty clingy. Thank you to all of her Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, friends and cousins for the visits, presents, watching Taylor, and all of your love!
Thank you to the Freeman’s for her cookie bouquet. She loved them and actually had a bite or two in the hospital, then ate some at home. She also loves her movie and dominos (she beats me almost every time!)
