She's home!

Thank you everyone for your thoughts and prayers. Evelyn came home yesterday (Tuesday) and is doing great. We are still giving her albuterol breathing treatments, but she is steadily improving. Other than that, it's life as normal in the Moore house. Which is to say, busy!

Now I can get back to posting about Easter and the baptism. I hope to have those up in the next couple days so check back for some fun posts!

Back to the hospital

Well, I was working on an update from Easter and the baptism, but then Evelyn went and got sick on us. She started getting sick just before the baptism and was later diagnosed with bronchiolitis and/or RSV. So we were giving her albuterol breathing treatments at home and she seemed to be getting better. But then earlier this week, she started getting worse. Then, on Thursday morning, she woke up sounding much worse. Thankfully, she was scheduled for her 6 month well check anyway, so off to the Dr. she went.

Evelyn's dr. agreed that she sounded worse and gave her some different breathing treatments at the office. These did not help, so they decided to admit her to the hospital. In fact, the dr. was concerned enough about Evelyn, that they called for an ambulance to transport her from the dr. office to the hospital.

Evelyn is now at Banner Desert in Mesa. She's doing well, but not well enough to come home. She's been receiving different breathing treatments and support, as well as some IV fluids, steroids, and antibiotics. She's officially been diagnosed as having parainfluenza type 3. We've been told this is not the regular "flu" type bug, this is something different (not swine flu either, I know you're wondering!).

The dr.s think she will likely be discharge on Tuesday, but of course we're hoping for sooner. I think as soon as she doesn't need the additional oxygen support, she's on her way.

Please keep us in your prayers. And special thanks to the grandparents for helping with Rebecca and Chloe this weekend!

Here's a couple pics and one video from a few days ago - when Evelyn was feeling better...
