Christmas Day

Katie and I spent the day today at Children's while Andy and Kyle stayed home and took down Christmas.  When Andy woke up, I asked him if he thought he was naughty or nice this year, and Andy promptly responded - "naughty."  Santa thought differently : ) 

Katie has been battling a little cough.  The past 24 - 48 hours she has been wheezing - so with a trip to California planned for tomorrow, we thought we should get her checked out.  After we checked in at Children's - Katie was given her score of 7.  That's with a 0 being healthy, 10 being admitted to the ICU.  I started to panic.  It's amazing how helpless you feel with your 6 month old baby struggling to breathe.  We were told to wait to hear if we were going to stay the night or if we should go home to keep a "close eye" on her.  So here we are, at home, keeping a "close eye" on her.  That means one thing - a worried mom.

We have been to Children's 4 times this month - twice for Andy and twice for Katie.  It's not how I imagined spending Christmas 2010, but all in all, I am thankful to be home keeping a close eye on my kiddos.

Merry Christmas

Pretty happy - and pretty cute in her hospital gown 
Poor little girl!

I hope Katie is feeling better! We had Taylor in the hospital yesterday for a cough as well. I have the same pic of her with the mask on, but she doesn't have a cute gown like Katie does. Thinking of you. xoxo
