we had quite the week here at 8500 feet. as you know, dh, dd1 and i all came down with the colorado plague right after faith was born. well she got a bit of a cough at 1 week. we spoke daily/every other day on the phone with our local family doc. then on monday we woke up and she was a funky color. she also hadn't eaten through the night and didn't keep down her "breakfast". we called the doc and he came right over (lovin' the fact that he does housecalls). he said her lungs sounded clear but we should take her to the er due to her coloring. we headed out and by the time we got to the hospital she pretty much wasn't breathing and was totally grey. it was like a scene from the tv show "er" - 8 people immediately all over her, mum pushed sobbing to the corner of the room, cutting her clothes off with scissors, O2, boluses in the arm, needles everywhere...oh lord. but she perked back up pretty quickly, thank the divine. we stayed in the hospital for 3 days of monitoring. they tested her for everything, but it turns out it's just whatever unknown virus we all had. it's just that her little body was too new to handle it. so she's still on O2, mainly because we live at altitude. she should be off of it by monday, they think. she's doing really well, but oh my goodness was that scary.
on a lighter note, laurel now deems it necessary to tell most everyone where faith came from.
at the hospital a version of this conversation happened again and again -
"so you're a big sister now?"
"uh-huh. faith come out mama's yoni."
thankfully, most of the nurse-types who were inquiring didn't really understand and just smiled and nodded .
