Quick Update
Yes, I do have Christmas and New Year's posts to make. Please check back later (below this post as they will show up there when I find time to get to them...) But I wanted to give you all a quick update and ask for your prayers. Our baby girl is kind of sick. She started a cougher's hack on Monday and instead of better, it has gotten worse. I immediately assume RSV or pneumonia and have to keep myself from rushing right to the ER. (The fact that I have been blog-following a sweet 9 week old with an extreme RSV case this week was not helping my situation at all. Thankfully, he is home now, which gives me hope that these horrible things do go away.) Poor Abby coughed all night last night and this morning was so sore that she would cry every time she coughed. We decided we really needed to get her to the doctor. They agreed her breathing was a little rasp-y and gave her a breathing treatment in the office. She was not a fan of this. It was supposed to clear her airways and make her breathing more clear. This did not happen. They diagnosed her with earyl stages of bronchiolitis. Her pulse-ox was 100, which is good, but they were concerned about her breathing so they sent us home with an inhaler that we have to give her 4 times a day. She is not a fan of this either. I can say that after just two treatments today I do think we can sense some minor improvement already and she has been asleep for 3 hours and we've only heard one cough. So, hopefully we are on the up and up. Please take time to say a little prayer for Abby and that this gets better and not worse. Thanks, and again, please check back for the missing updates.

Oh, ICK! Both the Keyser kids do breathing treatments every time they catch even a sniffle, but they don't seem to mind the mask at all. Hopefully she'll calm down and get used to it.
Sucks not being able to take the pain away from them.... I'm always extremely relieved when I can tell the medicine is working and they feel better!
Extra hugs and kisses to "Baby Babby"!
Sweet Abby is in my prayers...poor little punkin'!!
