Prayer Request

No we didn't forget about updating our blog. We have had a rough week... Tuesday night Samara was admitted into the Pediatric unit at the hospital for breathing problems. Tuesday night she stopped breathing two different times and we took her to the ER and she was admitted for monitoring for a day. She would get so congested that she couldn't even gasp for air, just wave her arms wildly and look frightened. Thankfully we were awake and right by her when this happened and were able to bulb suction her and get her breathing again. So we had some long nights in the hospital, I cried endlessly when they were trying to find a vein to start an IV on and when they drew blood. The nurses were great, though, and she was a hit. They didn't find anything wrong with her and we were discharged Thursday morning. But, of course, it happened again this morning at 5am. I woke up to her choking and spit flying. Thankfully she was fine, but again, extremely scary! So we are taking it easy, doing lots of extra burping, changing nipples on her bottle to slow down her feeding (she eats like she is starving) so she can swallow better, and sitting her upright after she feeds. Right now she is actually sleeping in her crib! I can't believe it!

So please send out prayers for her health, specifically her breathing and swallowing. We know that this is just a bump in the road and she will be healed, but it is very scary to live through! THANK YOU!!

On another note, we are anxiously awaiting the arrival of Grandpa Archie and Grandma Judy, Christi's parents, next Tuesday while Daddy is in New York. We can't wait to see what great pies/cakes and assorted yummy baked items Grandpa will cook up for us!
