Poor Baby

On Friday morning Jane woke up with a cough. I didn't think anything of it. Saturday morning her breathing was a bit labored but I didn't feel it was too bad. I ended up taking her into the doctor thinking she might have strep throat. As it turns out we were sent to the hospital because she had pneumonia! Poor girl. She was on oxygen for the first day. And I had a very interesting 33rd birthday celebrating it in the hospital with Jane. We were finally released on Monday and today she finally showed signs of getting better. Thank goodness for so many willing friends offering to help in so many ways! And thank goodness for andy who volunteered to stay in the hospital Sunday night so i could sleep at home. (I only got 3 hours of sleep the first night in the hospital and was exhausted on Sunday) Things like this make me grateful for good health. I also couldn't help but think of my friend Becky who is in and out of hospitals ALL the time with her son Ben and yet always has a smile on her face and deals with it. You are amazing Becky!
Look at those sad eyes!!

It's so hard to watch your kiddos be so sick and we were worried when we heard Jane was sick enough to be admitted to the hospital. We're happy to hear she's feeling better and hopefully you're getting caught up on sleep!

It's so hard to have sick kids, and especially scary when one needs to go to the hospital. What a birthday you had. I'm glad Jane is doing better.
