And on and on and on....

Hannah got a cold on 2/5/09, just in time for her 1st birthday party... This cold turned to a rough cough (of course I caught it too) and last week it got much worse. Thursday (2/12/09) was her 1 year check-up, so I held out until then to see the doctor - I was convinced she had pneumonia because she was running a fever and coughing (to the point of throwing up), she was lethargic and obviously very sick. The doctor (who WAS my favorite until now) basically brushed me off and did her exam, though we did skip the vaccinations due to her fever. She told me it was "just a virus". Well, the next morning, Hannah wouldn't wake up for more than a minute or two - I could bathe her and dry her hair without her ever waking up... lethargic doesn't even come close, she was nearly comatose. I called the doctor and demanded another visit - and my new favorite doctor actually listened to me and confirmed that my poor baby had pneumonia.

She is now doing better and while it is a very gradual improvement, at least she is awake and playing some. We've gotten past her daily throwing up only to have Taylor start with it - her cough started getting really bad Sunday night (2/15), so we're watching her for pneumonia as well as me. I think I'm going to move the family to a tropical location until summer if this mess doesn't stop soon! We're really at the end of our ropes, so please pray for us... We've cleaned up someone's throw up every day for a week and we're going to run the well dry from all the laundry soon. I will try to get birthday party pictures up soon.
